Any concern? My Target Mandarin is healthy and she gets around pretty well, does a good job avoiding stings from corals. Would she be okay with a RFA in the tank?

Is there any special needs these require? Such as pristine water quality or dirtier water?

She would do good in a rfa tank as the sting is really weak.
Same care as any other anemone..Stable parameters and good lighting

No worries. Unless it's startled, a mandarin will see and avoid it. And unless the RFA is very large and the mandarin very small, I don't think it could hold it.

My RFA has found it's spot up on a coral skeleton,and the 3 mandrins are fine. They chase pods and brine shrimp babies right up against it.
They have even been against the condy and been fine
