AIMLilRob,
Hope you don't mind, but I did some color correction on these for you. Mandarin Gobies are my all time fav, so I couldn't resist :D

I hope you don't mind the warning but a Mandarin and Scooter Blenny in a 60 gallon with 20-40 Lbs Liverock is not usually a good thing. As I'm sure you know mandarins eat pods... usually nothing else. Scooter also eat pods and sometimes will eat prepared foods. Both together in that small of a tank with that small of amount of LR... well they could both be starving to death.

I have more then 20, most of it in the pic is either stacked or in between the outer rocks. I have about 40-50, not sure since I have had some pieces of my rock for about 9 months and some just got recent.

Sorry but IMO that still is not enough. The mandarin alone will have a hard time surviving in that tank unless you can get him eating prepared food... which is usually impossible. Just trying to help :(.

So far my mandarin is eating frozen food, im getting some plants and a bit more live rock for my new refugium, then after I have it all set ima buy a cope starter culture for the refugium and feed it pytoplankton for about 1 month, so far my mandarin has about 2-3 caves of it's own. No other fish goes in/near them even when my mandarin is on the other side of the tank. Everything is going good so far, hopefully my plan will work out. But if it doesn't, I'll learn from my mistakes.

If my mandarin looks sick, ima take it back to my lfs and wait about 2 months to get another when my tank is more "established" then it already is.
