clicking noise, not sure if is hermit crab to something else

[al404]

yes it picks algae from rocks, since I don't have a sump his end would be... :-(
that's way i waited before pulling this guy out of there

from pictures over internet is not a stone crab, probably gorilla crab

I hear small clicks coming from my tank from time to time. When I run over, it's just my hermits moving along the bottom of the glass wall. They aren't exactly smooth walkers, so their shell was tapping the glass. It was surprisingly audible from outside. If it happens during the day, just go over and check where your hermits are. If they are by the glass...then that may be the clicking you hear.

i'm going to try to ketch my crab tonight, here is night, but my shrimp just got in the glass and stole a peace of shrimp, i guess my clean up crew is going to eat tonight :-D

Good luck with catching him. They're super hard to catch, and gorilla crabs most likely wont fall for a crab trap.

Today around 3pm I heard that clicking noise. It is very loud and did see a mantis breaking the rock to make a home. It ticks me off that these little monsters come with live rock (fiji rock) We pay good money for rock and the little surprises are attached. I am almost sure that my Watchman Goby was attacked today. The mantis showed his ugly face in the hole that the Watchman had made. It does have a get away tunnel, the trap is set and we will see what happens.

no success with the trap tonight, i don't have any play or zoo and don't want them in my tank if he finds and eats i'll be glad :-)

i read that he eats anemone, don't have and don't plan to have if it eats aphasia it is also ok for me :-)

if i have a martin and gorilla crab i guess that martin would strike it

I had a snail wedge itself next to my powerhead. It caused the shell to vibrate against the glass and cause a clicking sound. That was an annoying few hours before I figured it out.

my huge turbo snail, used to LOVE sitting right next to one of my old cheap amazon powerheads, and it sounded like a small airplane. I'd move him and 20 minutes later hed be doing it again. It must have felt good or something, i ended up swapping it out with a quality powerhead and ever since it doesn't happen anymore lol

What kind of drain system do you have?

your tank is small i'd get some of the rock out and dip it in fresh ro and see what falls out
