The problem sometimes is that some of these fish tend to eat OVA when they are in a separate "empty tank", but once put in a display tank they will go for pods and forget about OVA. (see the lengthy posts about ORA's mandarins)
If I were you I would look at the brine shrimp feeder that Paul B has invented for his mandarins and finicky eaters.
Update: it's been a week since I got these two fish. I put them in my fuge and it appears to me that they are doing great. I haven't feed them anything so they must be eating the pods I'm this tank. It's filled with pods so I'm sure they are eating. Here are some pics:
