Here's some of the things my parents got me for Christmas. I wouldn't have added as much stuff as I did but my dad placed the order.
I had...
-Maroon Clown
-Yellow Watchman Goby
-Tiger Pistol Shrimp
-Coral Banded Shrimp
-2 Emerald Crabs
-40 lbs. LR
-~80-100 lbs. LS
I got...
-Mandrian Dragonette (I was going to wait to get one so please don't flame me)
-Firefish
-Clown Goby
-PJ Cardinal
-2 Cleaner Shrimp
-3 Feather Dusters
-3 Emerald Crabs
-Queen Conch
-Umbrella Mushroom
Right now I have 130 watts PC over the mushroom but as soon as we finish putting the lights in my new canopy I'll have 440 watts VHO and a 400 watt MH (proably won't use the MH until later on though).

im not going to flame you but u have to make sure the manderin eats. im sure the clown eats like theres no tomorrow but manderins are methodical eaters so just keep an eye on him. some places sell frozen daphina or copepods. if your tank is still rather new id try that.

the mandrian eat copods, you must make sure that there are copods in your tank or the mandrian will die.
copods are little white dots that are about the size of (.) the dot in the middle or a little bigger. they will grow off of your rock, but you must wait till you have a large population of them so that the mandrian can eat.
good luck.

I'm sure your Mandarin will be fine. It was one of the first fish in my 55 gallon before I got "educated". He did just fine until he jumped out of the tank 9 month later...

Thanks for the comments.
I know the mandrians tend to be picky eaters and that they eat pods. The only reason my dad got one this time is because we ordered one in the past that was DOA. This one was the replacement. I'm not sure if any place around here sells copepods or not. We have one place that sells saltwater stuff and a Petsmart.
