I've always had this worry that I have a mantis in the tank, this is why:
For some of my smaller and more fragile fish:
firefish, royal gramma, bicolor blenny, and even Copperband now,
All went missing, even though they were eating very well, in the last 12 months.
Why i believe it may be a mantis,
corals are doing wonderful, I do hear OCCASIONAL rock clapping noises in the night.
Why I can't really verify that i do have one:
my yellow tang, 2 perculas, sixline wrasse, mandarin have been with me for a year and a half now with never a fin tear or anything along those lines. I've never seen a mantis shrimp in my tank. My snail population does not seem to drop, I can't find a "graveyard" of shells or bones anywhere.
In my tank I also have a breeding group of serpent stars, plenty of hermit crabs. I just can't put my finger on the problem. what do you think? Thanks for any help
