Possible predator in tank

Find what rock he's in and teargas him out.

I have no idea which rock he is in... and since I only hear the clicks once every day or two, its going to take a while to find out...

Has anyone tried this?

That could work, or you could try the tilted glass method (or plastic cup) method first.

Just wanted to bump this and find out what happened :O

I find this entire post frightening! LOL
A MANTIS can puncture your finger to the bone and hides under the sand and rocks during the day???? Holy Shmolies!!! Now I am questioning buying live rock!

No luck yet... in fact, I added a new conch about three weeks ago, and the other day I found his punctured shell as well. Oh well.

so is there a way you can make a trap and use a snail (less expensive snail than a conch) as the bait? I'll also bet if you stayed up late at night with a red light you could spot him, not necesesarily know how you would catch him once you did spot him though
