Since adding live rock to my 55 gal a little over 2 weeks ago, I have had a clicking sound in my tank. It was just once and a while. I remembered seeing a small reddish brown shrimp and had been hoping it was a pistol shrimp.
Today I saw the "shrimp in question" between a couple of rocks towards the top of the tank. It was in fact a mantis shrimp. Small, about 1 - 1.25" long. I grabbed the net and went after it. I tried to get it out, but was not able to find it again once I started pulling out rocks.
Time to start setting traps. I'd like to catch it and keep it in a small tank.
