Surely if it was clicking against the rock it would sound different?
I have flushed the rock, each and every piece, about 3 times now with soda water (an expensive job as our bargain booze only sells shwepps at about £1 per bottle). I've got hitchiker crabs out but no mantis or pistol shrimp.
I think I know which bit of rock it lives in and it is a huge piece with loads of tiny holes in it. None of these holes go right through the rock though, which makes flushing difficult. I've had this piece of rock in a seperate bucket overnight and there was no clicking in the tank whilst the rock was out, nor was there any from the bucket though, and no sign of it coming out either.
It's very frustrating. I daren't buy anymore shrimps, but as it seems to leave the fish alone, It doesn't concern me too much, but I just want to see it and know what is making the racket. If they are so shy, how do so many people manage to get clips of them on youtube?
