Mandarin Goby in an SPS tank???

[Alysiak00]

Anyone know if its possible to keep a mandarin in a 40g Breeder SPS tank. Theres is probably 45-55 lbs LR and it has a good pod population. My question is rather in the flow category. The tank has an mp40 cut down to about 50%. There is a high amount of flow and i didn't know if the mandarins are a low flow type of fish. thanks in advance

i forgot to mention it is bare bottom. (as i know they recommend sand)

The flow shouldn't be an issue, I'd be more concerned with running out of micro fauna for it to eat. Even if it takes prepared foods, it'll deplete the copepod population quickly and will suffer as a result.
