My tank is more than two years old, its 80 gallon, stocked full with coral and thriving. My tank setup is all hang on back, so don't have a refugium. I am wondering if should try a mandarin, maybe a small one from Biota. I see pods in the glass all the time. Since I don't have a refugium, I am wondering if the pod population can sustain itself after the introduction of the mandarin. Maybe a small one from Biota, wont make a huge dent to the population quick, so it might be okay? I also have a melanurus wrasse
Another question is, biota mandarins are very small? will they be okay adding them to an established tank with 10 fish in it. I know they have a stinky slime coat which stave off predators, will that ensure they wont be susceptible to stress from initial aggression?
