I think flow might be an issue, they seem to like lagoon style environments. I think.

I think they would compete with mandarins as well, so probably not a good choice.

I've read about people basting rock and acros 2/3x a day and being able to disrupt the fw cycle

Holee, sucks to be you right now
But you don't have my issues, so we're even

Why shrimps ... ? For what purpose I mean ... ?

So you're leaning towards plan A for now ?
I'd go either;
Plan B with a Yellow Coris and/or Melanurus or ...
Plan C as you mentioned something about a Mandarin ?

I have both wrasses, plus a Scooter and Hector's
The Hector's is doing fine (over a year all fish together), but the Scooter is looking a tad thin right now
I don't know if he'll make it, but the wifey won't let me sell him, so I'm trying my best to fatten him back up

So, my point is, if you already have your mind set on a Mandarin, go with plan C and turf those AEFWs now in whatever cruel way you deem fitting

And BTW, I'm baaack
I went straight from XPPro to a shiny new 8.1 system. So I can now play on the web again
