There are a number of Alpheid spp. shrimps that are commensal with acropora's...they can make a snapping noise and are not dangerous. Can you elaborate what other evidence you have that this is a Mantis?

Really, I'm not sure what the heck it is. I hate to kill any living thing, but if it's going to be dangerous to my reef, I want it gone. One fish has already mysteriously disappeared, and I have no idea how it happened
Opinions, please.
