Default Mandarin gobies

I was interested in getting a Mandarin goby, any suggestions or warnings that anyone has to share before my purchase?

How established is the tank?

Refugium?

How many lbs of Live rock ?

Anemones in the tank as well ?

Wrasses or other gobies like a scooter goby?

I have had my tank up and running for a little more than 3 years now. I do have a refugium with a deep sand bed and live rock rubble. I have about 80 - 90 lbs of live rock currently and 3 inch sand bed in the DT. No gobies, wrasse or anenomes.

I've had one for over a year and I got him to eat live brine shrimp and eventually frozen brine/mysis shrimp. Make sure you don't have any agressive tankmates that will steal food away fom your dragonet.

Well all I have are two Sebae's and a Blue devil damsel, the latter of which is very greedy!

You might have problems with your damsel stealing food from your dragonet. I would recommend moving him.
