Cleaner Wrasse and Mandarin

Hey guys,

I have been researching some forums and Wet Web Media but need some help. I currently have a cleaner wrasse that eats flakes, frozen mysis, frozen mix, and whatever my clown happens to grow on herself. I also see it "kissing" the glass quite a bit.

I am planning on getting a Mandarin eventually, which brings up some questions:
Is my cleaner wrasse eating copepods off the glass?
Will the Mandarin be compatable with the cleaner wrasse?

I plan to get a Mandarin that eats prepared foods, but pods will definitely be needed, as I won't be feeding the tank 24/7 like the Mandarin will need. I have a 55g tank with about 2g fuge full of cheato and some rubble (hope to change the sump out with a larger one with a larger fuge...). It has been set up for 4 months and I am seeding it with pods about once a month. I plan to add the Mandarin in 2-4 months (prob 4).

All comments and criticism is welcome. I have a thick skin and won't add the Mandarine if I can't provide for it.
