I am going to get a Mandarin Goby for my tank. He is going to be the center of the tank well for the fish anyway. I will be adding coral. My question is how do I care for a dragonet while it is in quarantine? Should I add a copepod hotel and dose with copepods? If so how often should I dose?

You can quarantine a mandarin, as observation. Yes pods will have to be provided. Mine eats hundred a day.
