Yep, we definitely need all these pictures. Mandarins are some of the best fish IMO they have such a great personality :D

Here are pics of Armando the mandarin when I brought him home. He's always out and swimming around. He has a much more outgoing personality than my last mandarin.

Not in quarantine; that's just the container I brought him home in.

Lovely fish Sarah, are they prone to being bullied and killed by my Damsels?

I want an Armando!!! But i don't think i have enough pods in my tank. :(
I need to spring for one of those new ORA Armandos that eat prepared foods.

Damsels seem to leave them alone. Mandarins are pretty peaceful and occupy different space in the tank than damsels do.
Or just have your LFS feed them for you, and pick the one that eats! When I asked the previous owner if this guy was eating frozen, he said he didn't know -- he had never seen it eat when he fed the tank. But I saw him picking at food I put in the tank on the first day I had him.

Are they expensive in the USA ?

Not really. I paid $25 for this one. At the LFS they usually sell for $30 to $40.

Thank you! I cleaned the glass last night, so I can take pics of my new corals today. The "new" ones I got 3 weeks ago, but haven't cleaned the glass since!

Here are the new things I've gotten in the last couple of weeks, since I last posted pics.
"Dolly"
"Maury"
"Arthur"
Armor of God palys. These guys are so browned out. But everything in the tank of the guy I got them from was browned out. He hadn't changed his bulbs in 2+ years. Hopefully they'll color up and start looking the way they should.
Some weird leather. It's like a cross between a cabbage and toadstool. Still hasn't opened up in my tank yet.
Some sort of brain coral. I'll post this pic in the ID forum too.
