It's easy to know they exist in your tank.Hear the clicking sound and you've guessed it,the mantis is there.

Uhh came from LR since it is from the ocean.Uhmm but sometimes the click sound maybe a pistol shrimp cause currently my tank have the clicking sound but no dead fishes.

i agree.. once in a while i see my snails twitching their shells near the tank walls, creating the clicking sound as the shells hit the glass..

Woah i didn't knew that.All i know my snails all died of hunger.Bought a sea hare instead since it ate nearly all types of algae.
