Leopard wrasse and a mandarin

[Kremlin]

Could a female leopard wrasse and a mandarin live together in a 180 gallon tank? I already have the wrasse and it is eating frozen food very well. Anybody kept these two together before successfully?

That's a big maybe. Usually you don't want to put fish that will compete for pods in with a mandarin. Yon might get away with it since you have a very large tank. For most others, I'd say it would be a mistake to mix the two fish.

I'd would say try it, provided you have a plan B in case things don't work out.

I have 4 leopard wrasses, 2 additional wrasses and a mandarin in my 120. I do a lot to cultrue and buy pods to keep it stacked but all of them eat Larrys reef frenzy and all are fat and happy.

Its doable but you just need to know their care and always be observant.

I was thinking I would do a pod condo in the tank behind the rocks where u can't see. Good idea?

they certainly help if you can get it going.
