I don't have much experience with moorish idols, but I do with butterfly fish and heniocous (sp?) in general. Those long nosed type fish do best to feed on live rock. They love to pick off the small crustateans and stuff growing on it. I've only ever seen one butterfly fish ever eat flake, trust me, I was completely shocked by it mysef. If I hadn't been feeding it, I wouldn't have believed it. There is a product on the market called Zooplankton that is pretty good. It's not frozen, but you do have to refrigerate after opening. If you could get your hands on some live brine or mysid shrimp, that's good stuff for them too.
