I was hearing clicking in the 65 for past few weeks, The tank had LR up to the waterline but ya gotta do what ya gotta do so I went ahead and just plunged in . Removed ALL coral and ALL rock.
Went through with a fine tooth comb while submerging the pieces one by one and rotating them in a separate tank to see if I could find the culprit. Didnt find anything aside from a porc crab, and a pink cuke I didnt know I had.
I decided since I had it all apart I would take the oppourtunity for new aquascaping. The new design is about 100lbs less then before so more open water room. Many know of my upcoming move so I have been getting rid of alot of the livestock and have only a Puffer, a few cucumbers, minthrax, and a few pepermints left in the tank.
I looked very well through the rockwork and now a day later I STILL am hearing the ocassional clicking noise. What the hell could this be? It is entirely possible that I missed a pistol or mantis, but I have serious doubt as my inspection was so thorough.
Do puffers click? I have Spiny puffer that was a rescue. He is the only new addittion in a very long time. Dont have to tell me hes not reef safe, He chews on everything and eats his body weight in Kenya. Hes not too destructive beyond a few polyps here and all of it regrows soon enough. He shouldnt be in a 65 I know this before the peanut gallery chimes in. Just he was in sad shape and was going to meet the porcelin god in the restroom so I took him as a rescue. Hes doing fine now btw
SO anyone have a clicking puffer? or any other ideas?
