Thanks. I'll have to check into it. I am looking for something that is not a real fine grain but i also do not to course of a grain.
you should wait at least 6 months until you add a mandarin, even just one. You should suppliment their diet or make sure that they eat live brine or something. You could have a serious issue on your hands.
I hope you have waited at least 3 months before adding those corals...
Good luck!
Yeah, actually this was an upgraded tank when I moved. I transfered all the water, alot of the sand, and all of the rockwork. The 2 mandarins have been together now for about 10-12 months. The tank I filter feed with cyclopeez and brine shrimp.

I think it has to do with the type. I had asked for a female when I ordered the green spot but I dont think that is what I got. Either way, the 2 dont bother each other much--only the occasional dorsal raise but they do that with all the fish so this doesnt seem to much of a concern as of now. But, like I said in the other post-they have been together for about 10-12 months with no issue so I am not too worried about it now..
