A couple thoughts. The urchin could starve in a smaller tank. Also, do not add a mandarin if it is not eating frozen. It will also starve not having enough live food in that size, IMO. If you don't have a sump I would hesitate adding that many fish.

The min tank required for a mandarin is 20 gal, but the tank has tobe full of pods. You can however seed the tank by purchasing bottles of them.....Its knid of expensive but it can be done, in fact we've done it twiceand both ours are fat and happy.....
