The live rock is for the most part all mature stuff from other systems.

I also have a refugium that "was" three months old, but because I got a new sump I had to wash all the sand in it to start a new one that is probably about a month old now. The live rock form the original refugium was maintained.

Do you think I should get a mandarin? I dont think any of my other fish eat the pods but I cant really say for sure.
I have the following fish:

Regal Tang
Tomini Tang
Yellow Tang
Two Oscellaris Clowns
Two Blue/Green Chromis
Diamond Goby
Lawnmower Blenny
Green Clown Goby
Yellow Clown Goby
Foxface

None of my fish are bigger than 3 inches yet, if that matters.

What do you guys think?
I would say no. with out more questions.

Do you see all kinds of bugs and pods running around? do you have breading grounds for pods set up that the fish can't get into?

with out seeing the tank I don't think anyone would say yes with the info provided. Mandrins that eat dead/prepared food are a rarity not the norm.
