okay thank youu... do you think that a 10 gallon refugium with caulerpa and chaeto and LR rubble would be enough to sustain a red mandarin?
Should be, but I also recommend the ORA Mandarin as well. I don't mind caulerpa and have never had an issue with it. I actually prefer it over chaeto. Many people do not share my preference though. If you're going to use caulerpa, make sure you research it first, people complain of it going sexual in their tanks.

Saltwaterfish has them:

Those are the spotted ones from ORA. If you call, I'm sure they can get you the Red Mandarin. ORA is literally down the street from Saltwaterfish's facility. I'm almost positive if you call (speak with Kim), you could get them to ship you a red, unless ORA is out of stock of them at the moment.

....which is a possibility. ORA bred Mandarins are fairly new, and the "crop" isn't big enough to sustain all buyers of course. But I still say it would be worth the wait if they're out of stock.
You know, I think I live on the wrong side of the state. Need to move my tukus over to the Gulf coast!
