I recently got a mandarin goby, hes pretty big might be full grown. Hes in my 5 month old 29g biocube. I just stocked my aquarium with coral 2 month ago so most of it is still frags on a rack. The goby is now hosting the wrack which is pretty much laying on more than half of the frags. They dont care much for that, what should I do.

I have had a couple of Mandarin. IME, a 5 month old 29g biocube would be hard pressed to produce enough copepods to keep him fed. Even if he takes frozen food, he still needs plenty of pods. My advice, rehome in a larger tank with an established copepod population.
 
Oh I have pod farms and keeping an eye to suppliment, I can handle that but yeah I dont think hes a good fit. Any tips on catching him all I have to do is walk up to the tank and hes runs to the other side or in the rocks.
