You can. But, you'll have to have a huge food supply for them.
If the question is "Will they fight?" The answer is, more than likely they will not. Mandarins are not really fighters
If it's a decent size tank and you have a good supply of pods in the tank and a refugium, you should be okay.
To me, however, it's more hassle than it's worth.
We have a green spotted and my husband desperately wants a red or blue and I've been fighting him tooth and nail about it.

If this is going in the 200g tank you have listed in your profile, then you shouldn't have a problem...provided you don't have any other heavy copepod eaters in the tank. I'm assuming (??) you also have a fuge plumbed in under the tank somewhere. I have a 110g with a fuge in the sump and I have two healthy green mandarins in the system...male and female.
