Have you found any bodies? I would be wary of having so many damselfish in such a small area, (clowns are damsels as well), I know my Maroon clown wouldn't tolerate any other kind of clown in my 72g. As for the Mandarins - no matter what anyone says about them eating "prepared" foods... they only get their proper diet from copeopods, and to provide them with enough pods you need 50lbs or more of live rock PER Mandarin to have any hope at all of keeping them healthy... I was at a LFS recently and while the guy was fishing around in a tank a chromis spooked and swam too close to a carpet anemone... WOW! It was SO quick... that fish was toast almost instantly... no second chance at all - kinda like skydidving!
