Male or Female
1)Is this a male or female Mandarin? I currently have a male that I have had for about a year and he eats frozen food. I was looking for him a mate. Will it be okay to introduce a female to him or will they fight?
2)I had a feather duster coral that my Yellow tang has been picking on and the feather duster has disappear. So,I assume it was dead but today when I got home it is back. Can a feather duster move? I noticed he did not come back out in the same tube he came in but a different one.The feather duster is on the sand. I tried to move it but it sims it is struck on the aquarium bottom or struck on the rock. |

Looks like a female. Doesn't have the dorsal fin spike.

1. the mandarin looks like a female to me as well. i've never paired up mandarins before so i have no experience but i think fighting will be minimal if they're different sex.
2. feather dusters are worms not corals. they can move out of their tubes. i would just leave it where it's happy at.
