All crab except the filter feeders like the porcelain crab are opportunistic omnivorous and will eat whatever is available and convenient.

Do crabs usually make clicking sounds? If they dont, it looks like I have a mantis somewhere in the tank

I guess my only option is to set some bottle traps and see what happens over night

Hey that looks EXACTLY like the one I had in mine.
Just a simple gorilla crab. I tied a little string on mine and kept him as a pet for a few days.

So its confirmed, I saw a small brown mantis shrimp today when I was feeding the fish. Im hoping he will stay in the rock he is in, and I will try using high salinity dip to force him out. Still debating if I should put it down.. or maybe someone here wants him?
