Tisbe in my main tank.

[longranger]

I put some new live rock in my tank and now have quite a nice population of Tisbe or at least that is what they look like to me. I would like to keep them around for my smaller wrasses and a potential Mandarin. Is there a way to keep a Tisbe population healthy in a live rock SPS and soft coral reef system main tank or do I have to do that in a refugium or other separate tank?

If you have a big enough tank, then the population should do fine... But a refugium would help significantly. Putting a Mandarin and a wrasse in the same tank usually isn't recommended since they compete for a scarce food source in the tank.

feeding phyto to yout tisbe will help increase and feed the population you already have.
