mantis shrimp?

right i have something in my tank and its doing my head in! have never seen anything but hear clicks often can find no trace of a hole and even a late nighter with red light hasnt showed anything up, i know somethings in there because if i work it out ive lost virtually all my clean up crew and even some fish over the last couple of years, all dead snail and crab shells end up with a hole in them so i presume its a smasher of a mantis. i cant dismantle my rock work as virtually all of it now has coral attached and really doesnt help unless i get a rough idea of which rock its in, oh ive tried traps and stuff to no avail so peeps any ideas??

Good luck;);):D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

:sorry: but you are gonna need it. If i were you i would persevere with the red light and hopefully you'll be able to see which rock it comes from.

Got a similar problem hear clicking on a night had a couple of fish go missing over the last two years also my clean up crew vanish and when I do retrieve shells they have holes in them and so far I have seen nothing although my wife and daughters say they have seen it bit like the Lock Ness monster Lol.
