Well I have been patient so far with the little pests that came with my rock. But, today I had to pull all the rocks out and get some nasty buggers. This is what lead me to such a drastic action:
About a week ago I had succeded in extracting a mantis from one of the rocks. I then heard a new set of clicks from the tank a couple of days ago.
Two days ago I noticed a big white crab (not hairy) actually pick up one of the bigger blue legged hermits pull it from its shell and munch on it!
I tried a few different traps with no luck. So today I pulled out all the rock and got the big crab along with a few other hairy crabs.
I also got out about 3 baby mantises. I am sure they are mantis shrimps. I couldn't find the big one though, and I just know I am going to hear that clicking again. I pray that the little fellas were responsible for the big clicks I was hearing.
This was a big pain in the arse, and I will never do it again.
