Brent is 100% correct about the starving fish!
I tried & failed to keep a Mandarin healthy in my 2 yr old 60g tank.
This was despite the fact that I built a 'pod safety zone' pile using LR rubble, had a large population on pods as a result & even had my Mandarin feed occasionally on fish roe & frozen food.
My Mandarin was not amazingly fat when I got him & he did fatten up a little bit, but eventually, despite my pod population being almost at infestation levels & my Madarin seemingly eating well, he got skinny looking & ended up in pretty bad shape.
I had him 4 months & he went from slightly skinny to really emaciated & I felt really sh***y about it
A harsh lesson learned despite the fact that I read up everything I could find & asked for lots of advice on forums.
I had to give him away to a friend with a 4 yr old 200g reef.
