Unkown Crab and Anenome?

[Koshmar]

Some people say that a clicking sound can mean a pistol shrimp too. I have'nt heard what a pistol shrimp sounds like but I know very well what a mantis sounds like; I have two smashers. I describe the usual sound as taking a small rock and tossing it onto the concrete. The cracking sound is very similar to that, this sound usually comes when a mantis is pounding at some LR. If the mantis is hitting glass, the sound is slightly muffled. The sound can also sound similar to little water splashes in your sump/tank. If you want to really know if you have a mantis, lift the LR up if you can, it will bolt right out most of the time. If it turns out to be a mantis, let me know and I'll help you find a home for it. Please don't kill it.

hmm im confuzzled with it because i cant be under the rock so it must be in it but then i cant see anything in it, do any fish click?

Do you have any large snails such as turbo's? I was freaking thinking I had a mantis and so I sat with a red flash light just waiting for him to show himself. What I found was my turbo tapping his shell against the glass, talk about a sigh of relief. There is also the possibility of fish moving things around if you have them. If you have none of those critters get a flashlight and cover with red plastic so you can watch the tank at night without scarring whatever is making the noise.

i put a piece of rock in the tank out of the main tank, theres a clown fish and a damsel in there, i heard the clicking 1st in the main tank after i took a piece of rock out and put it in the new tank i could here it in there but not in main tank so im guessing what ever it is hidden in the rock, i dont have any red plastic for the flash light
