That being said I wouldn't do it
Yup, me too. This is my second Mandarin in a tank less than 50 gallons. My last one was a male that I sold to another reefer, and is still doing well. He ate frozen Mysis for sure. The current one is female, and she was quite small, and skinny when I got her. She has fattened up a lot, and is doing well. She is not out very often, so I have no idea what she eats. I still advise against it though.
