J86 Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 (edited) is it possible that i cought a moorish idol in the gulf of mexico?, i'm asking this because 4 or 5 years ago my family and i went down to indianola TX, to camp, and one day i was put on the dock, and i pulled up our crab net, and in it was, what i know now as a moorish idol,( i didn't know what it was back then ), i don't have a pic, but i got one in my head, and i think it was, but is it possible fo them to live down there? the red star in the circle is where i belive indianola is. that's NOT the one i caught (below ) Edited February 5, 2006 by J86 Quote Link to comment

andykee Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 Distribution: From Hawai'i to Australia, and from the west coast of Central America westward to the coast of Africa and the Red Sea. I'd say probably not. Quote Link to comment
