I'm just getting into pod culturing for my new Mandarin. I have 80 Lbs of very well established live rock. I just want to make sure you know. Fortunately my Mandarin is more than happy to snack on prepared foods too. I took A LOT of time waiting for just the right Mandarin. I suggest you do the same no matter your intended home for it. Getting one that will accept prepared foods will help insure a healthy happy and fat Mandarin Dragonette. I waited over a year before I felt ready to add mine and had found one that was a good eater. It was the last fish in my plan. On a podcast called Reefcast, the host, Melev, talks about his "Mandarin Diner". http://www.melevsreef.com/mandarin_diner.html Thought about trying it out but haven't felt I have a need. Anyway, good luck.

Gozer,
I tried the "Mandarin Diner" ... Didn't work for me. My mandarin won't go in it ! Always swam around the darn thing. LOL

Reefcast is a cool show ! I listen all the time. Marc (melev) is very helpful also. I was talking to him last week about a RO/DI unit he sells. I will be going to hear him speak next month at MAX (marine aquarium expo).

COOL.
Where is this MAX happening? I've only heard of MACNA and only because of Melev. lol

This is the first MAX. It's here at the Orange County (California) fair grounds.

OH YEAH! I remember now. The west coast finally has a Marine Show. Man, I'm gonna have to go next year. Wish I had thought about it sooner and could manage to go this year. Oh well, enjoy yourself and report back so we can all feel uber jealous. lol
