Description
The Spotted Mandarin, also known as the Spotted Mandarinfish, Psychedelic Mandarinfish, or Picture Dragonet, is a small, brightly colored member of the dragonet family. It is known for its vibrant coloration and intricate patterns, which make it a favorite among aquarists.
Reef Safe
Yes, Spotted Mandarins are considered reef safe. However, they may deplete the population of small crustaceans in a reef tank.
Environment
Spotted Mandarins need a well-established tank with plenty of live rock to forage on. They also require a sandy substrate, as they like to burrow.
Behavior
Spotted Mandarins are generally peaceful fish that spend their time foraging for food in the substrate. They are slow and deliberate swimmers and tend to stay close to the bottom of the tank.

Is a very fun fish to have with their pattern but on the more difficult side due to their diet.

By far my most favorite fish after the blue/green mandarin. The way they move around is awesome to sit and watch, so many cool patterns and colors!
