i have a scooter blenny, same as a manderin
put him in my 55 galllon reef when it was 4 months old i think, eats frozen/flake food

 
I have so many pods running around. I dont want them to be all gobbled up but I want a good balance, if you know what i mean?

Here is my spotted mandarin:

She doesn't touch anything but pods. I also had a green mandarin, but she starved to death over a few months.
I have a 70 gallon tank with about 120 pounds of LR and a 2" sandbed plus a 6" sandbed with rock rubble in my refugium.

I live about 5 miles from that store, Reef Revolution! Its an awesome store and I absolutely love the guys working there. They are pretty honest people! Don't know how they are online, but they are the best priced LFS around the Tulsa area!

I have my mandarin for about 3 months now, but didn't add him unitl after a year of established tank. I think they are great to watch. Ours changes color at night almost a yellow color. Were lucky he is still alive, he swam into the sadleback carpet anemone Saturday. Had to move lots of water around to release. Good Luck.
