They are not advisable to keep due to their unique diet of only copepods. Some reefers managed to train them to eat frozen food. I would say at least a 3footer is required for one mandarin so as to have enough pods among the rocks.

Flame angels r not 100% reef safe as there's a chance that they might nip at corals. They r however consider the safest of dwarf angels species to keep in a reef tank as some dun bother and leave corals alone. 50-50 chance I would say. Mine do nip at corals and I'm trying to get it out now.
