I believe liveaquaria.com has them. 59.99 last time I looked.
i have a yellow watchman gobie... he is awesome... cleans the sand a little and goes crazy when i feed the tank. plus i love the bright coloring. i just got a pistol shrimp today after having the gobie for about 2 weeks. as soon as he was released after acclimation he went right to where the gobie lives and started to turn his apartment into a condo. its really fun watching him dig and plow the sand around.

No problem with those 2... Also, a Mandarin Dragonet is not a goby. However, in order to successfully keep a Mandarin you're tank will need to have lots of Live Rock, and have been established for a while.
Primarily because they survive mainly, and usually only, on live copepods. Some will take frozen food, and even dry pellets, but their diet will still primarily be pods. It's usually not recommended to purchase one before 6 months time. A refugium with macro algae is also good to have, as this give the pods a place to thrive without being constantly hunted by fish in the display.

It'll be enough for one Mandarin as long as there aren't a ton of other predators in the tank as well (wrasses for example may out compete the mandarin)

sixline's can be bullies. It would've been better if he was introduced last to your tank, rather than first. They're kinda hit or miss with other docile fish like Mandarins.
