Finally identified clicking in 28 gal bowfront
 

I've been hearing a clicking coming from my 28 gal bowfront and today I found the source. A looked in the tank just in time to see what looks like a pistol shrimp snatch a bit of food from a hermit crab. I've tried to put food out to get a better look but it comes out slightly then bolts.

Where does it hide? in the rock or sand?? I thought mine was a mantis butim unsure lately the clicking is more intense and happens more often i have yet to see it.

It hides in a hole in a zoo rock, a fairly large piece, and while trying to coax it out with a piece of squid I did get a yellow bristle type worm to come out of the same hole. :eek:

I've been trying to track down the clicking in my tank too , lastnight with a flashlight I saw inside a rock what looked like a small shrimp(1inch long) . It was light blue with dark blue bands across it's body .

I've never seen one that color before .
