Experience w/ pipefish?

I am thinking of adding a banded pipe to my tank. Here are some quick details, do you think that this fish would be appropriate from my tank?

Fish:

Chocolate tang
Ocellaris pair
Green manderin
Royal gramma
lawnmower blenny
painted wrasse
2 green chromis

I don't know if this is relevant or not but I'm running about 70x turnover.

Thanks!
Waxx

The mandarin alone will deplete whatever pod population you may have in the tank. Pipes need a VERY established tank to hold them over until they start to see frozen food as interesting. Even then there's no guarantee. In general there's just way too many active feeders in that mix for a pipe to deal with.

Good enough, thanks. I'll skip the fish.
