please be sure to feed the little mandarin. A brand new small tank like a 40g will not have enough pods to sustain it long term> You got to get it on frozen ASAP.
PC lighting isn't very strong at all compared to most reef lighting. You might want to have the actinics come on first to give everybody a chance to wake up and then have the daylight bulbs and the actinics on at the same time until evening.

The mandrin is already on live brine shirmp
I he is fat and healthy and gets fed a couple times a day to keep him that way
I work at a pet store we dont have much as far as corals thats what I am new to but I know about the fish
they are way to pretty to let go down the drain by not feeding enough.

Are your rocks sitting on the glass or on top of the sand? If the latter you stand a chance of one day your goby digging until a rock drops on his head. Run your lights at least ten hours and make sure your PC lamps are not over 12 months old. If you are not sure change them out and keep track on a calender. The perfect rockwork could be argued all day here, I don't think there is a perfect way to layout rock, other than making it stable when you stack. Just keep a couple of caves for fish to hide in, everything looks great. Your softies including the Xenia and your macro algae will help you control phosphates which lead to algae growth. Since this tank was just moved you will have the usual new tank syndrome like brown algae, but will clean up in time with frequent water changes with good R/O water and a quality salt like reef crystals or others. Welcome to MAAST.
