Hey Dave, I've been hearing clicking in my tank sometimes at night. And now I have a damaged Linckia star. So I may have a mantis in my LR...

I'm curious how you found that you had one (see it? hear it?) and how you caught it.

Thanks! Marcye, hopefully I'll have another one to give you soon!

I came home after having my new rock for about 4 days and there he was swimming around. I just got lucky and saw him. The clicking could be a mantis or a pistol shrimp. Just look at your tank a lot and see if you notice him in there. If you have one eventually you will see him. I took out the rock he was in and broke it in two with a hammer and screw driver and he fell out of it.
