Make sure you put it in an acrylic tank... there are stories of them cracking glass tanks.

Some how i lost a fish (just disapeared) and another had a big chunk out of his side. I have been reading on mantis shrimp and am wondering if i have one. I recently bought some more LR and am wondering if he was in it. Does the mantis shrimp make the clicking noise every night?

i think that there is one for sale in the classifieds right now but im not sure

from what i have read if you can here him clicking, and you losing live stock, you got one.

I havn't really noticed a clicking noise but my tank is in my bedroom and i sleep with the T.V on and set a timer for the T.V and maybe thats why i don't hear it cause i am sound asleep. Also now that i think about it i havn't seen my Blue Leg hermit for awhile, been too worried abotu my other fish. Again do they make clicking noises every night?

Aceroc-
A Mantis shrimp will making a clicking that is pretty loud. It's usually 2 or 3 clicks right in a row.
