The noise mantis shrimps make is reportedly from when they are smashing their way into a mollusc, not from their own physiology. Therefore it would more likely be a series of single clicks, rather than a single burst. I had two small mantis' when I got this live rock, one died at the end of a rogue screwdriver and the other was living in my sump up until I went nuts trying to pull a mushroom out of it and knocked everything over. He may still be there. I won't rule out another but based on the sound I am leaning towards pistol shrimp. Either way it is odd it has only just come about, perhaps I am simply hallucinating.
