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?

Sure.. Im going camping this weekend, but I will try the salinity dip next week. He looks really cool, I was really hoping for my porcupine to hunt it down for me.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.
