Sounds like the work of a.....CRAB ! (or possibly a shrimp (pistol or bulldozer).

Could be a worm....
Reading this link may make you think twice about sticking your hand in the tank..... I am glad I yanked the one I had at only a foot long! http://www.oregonreef.com/sub_worm.htm

Could this be a mantis??? Regardless of what it is I know for certain it is not the work of either my chromis or clowns... Should I set up a bottle trap in the area this evening? I just want to know what it is.... I'm creeped out!!

Well there's been a few developments over the last couple days.... Two separate attempts to bait monster turned up nothing but stranded hermit crabs.....
So then the other night... I'm on the phone.. Gazing into the tank ... And mention the menace in the tank.... No sooner did I say it... I'm having a fit because there is this HUGE crab running along the back wall with a piece of rubble.. He took cover under zoa mountain ....Aka the scene of the crime Then again yesterday while visiting with a fellow reefer ... I bring up this crab, well low and behold two minutes later he spots the damn thing... Running with a chunk of rubble... Grrrrrr..... Bad crab..... That's where my small frag of zombie eyes gas gone .... Grrr So aside from ripping everything apart ... I don't know how to catch him.... Any ideas? Maybe I'm not patient enough... Oh a little more on this freak..... I looked on chucksaddiction.... Possibly Xanthid, or mithrax ... Quarter / loonie size... Still need a closer look...

I would lean towards a pistol shrimp, I used to own one of the regular big guys that I named Jamal, he actually ate his shrimp partner
 . He would rearrange everything and would aggressively attack me when I went to reaquascape the tank.Any random clicking coming from the tank Chelsea?

Instead of a bottle trap try a tall drinking glass with a chunk of food (uncooked shrimp) in the bottom of it at lights out. Put it at an angle so that nothing can crawl out of it. Works for crabs, worms well

Jamal?! Roflmao ughhh .. I haven't heard any clicking... But I will certainly be listening. What could I do to determine if that is indeed what it is? Did you buy your or did he hitch a ride in?
