I have one of the ORA target mandarins in my 150G and he loves Fauna Marin pellets, frozen PE mysis (chopped fine) and cyclopeze. Little fella isn't shy about eating - and he likes bites small enough that the melanurus wrasse (the official Pig Fish of the tank) ignores them. Much to my surprise, he is right out in front with the others at feeding time - he even swims around the front of the tank begging whenever someone is there. I am sure individual mileage varies on these - I figured I had enough pods if he didn't eat prepared foods. Sounds like I got lucky!
