I have the same sound & I know there's no mantis in my tank because a couple of crabs are thriving. A mantis would take care of any crabs in short order. I kind of doubt mine is a pistol shrimp either, I've never been able to see it if it is. Think I may have read somewhere that even certain crabs can make this noise with their body armour.

Pistol. Mantis clicking would be shells being broken open. If you have no broken shells its most likely a pistol.
I have had one 5 years. Never seen it but click click click. I believe he is responsible for my missing harlequin and 3 peppermints. Never bothered any fish.

I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

I have those sounds also... Come and goes. Usually lots of clicks, then nothing for awhile (weeks or months) then it starts up again for awhile, usually in the evenings, when the lights are out.

yeah, maybe that explains two of my cleaner shrimps went missing some time ago.

Now that I remember, at the beginning when I brought all my LR for my first tank, I saw a small "lobster" like little creature now and then. kinda brownish color, but I remember it looked like a little lobster.

just in reply to people saying no broken shells means no mantis... there are tons of speices of mantis, i have one in my reef thats only about a inch long if that, he doesnt go after any inverts, he takes food from me if i put it at his hole. but he clicks all day long, the clicking is usually them just borrowing in LR
