hi,
Two days back got a 2 inch mandrin form LFS. It's a bit skinny but it was picking on stones and sand at LFS, so i picked ti up. i have got a 55 gallon tank and 30 gallons of sump with refugium and about 60 pounds of live rock. .
i have kept it in the refugium which has healthy population of pods. i can see it picking the rocks but not sure that it is eating pods, i have tried to feed it dry worms but unsucessful. so please guide me with how to train it to have frozen food.
regards
Sid

My mandarin takes frozen prawn roe. To feed, I turn off all circulation and use a pipette to deposit a small mound if roe on the sand. He has come to recognize the pipette and come directly to it, and even take food directly from the tip.
