I think I have a mantis

NOOOOO

 

I hear a clicking noise that sounds almost exactly like my heater but my heater is going on and off or when my hermit walks into the glass. It seems to click about ever second for about 5 seconds and then stops.

 

I haven't found anything dead from a broken shell yet but I am going to be doing spotting with my flashlight tonight when I hear the clicks.

 

What is the best way of spotting and trapping the sucker?

 

Anyone want it if I find it? :)

Might not be a mantis. I have had a similar thing going on with my 4 gallon since I set it up and all my hermits and snails are still accounted for. I'm pretty sure that mine is just a pistol shrimp. It also clicks repeatedly for about 5 seconds. I think it does it to announce it's territory when a hermit comes too close.

I am thinking that now too because there have been no noticeable losses (except for retarded snails that fall X) )

 

Just before I submited my reply I just heard three clicks but no one seems to be effected by it. Could my emerald crab make this noise when a hermit gets close?
