You can lower the amount of ampipods in your tank with any use of Reef Friendly fairy, flasher, filament wrasses... as long as they grow small and are reefsafe you should be good. Mandarins aren't really recommended if you tank still hasn't matured enough and not has produced enough copepods/other pods to keep a mandarin fed.. Unless your are the few that has a trained mandarin that eats prepared foods/frozen/pellets like my mandarin.

Keep in mind that mandarin's prefer smaller pods, not the larger ones you can easily see. Sure they may eat an amphipod here or there, but a wrasse may be a better option.
I had a leopard and a black leopard wrasse in the past and they are both great candidates for this type of pod control. Plus they will eventually learn from their tank mates and eat prepared foods.
