Ninjabeaver Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 So for the last two years I can hear some clicking in my tank. I always sneak up and try to find the source but have never figured it out. I have emerald crabs but they haven't been in there for very long. What things make clicking sounds in your tanks? Pistol shrimp? Mantis? I would think that I would have seen something by now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Higher Thinking Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Triggers, as Daniel pointed out, can make a particular sound. Pistol shrimp is a definite culprit of clicking sounds. I'm assuming you have not added one intentionally? If it's a pistol you might not see it, but you'll see their little burrows and little rock walls they make with the substrate.

PowderBlue Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Shine a flashlight under the tank when the lights are out, I can easily find mine. Sent from my SM-G928V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergio Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 I get the same noise only when my lights are off. Cant figure it out thought it would be a shell of snail or crab but i doubt it. #StayReefing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquanius Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Both of my clown fish have been making a click/pop sound. They are hanging in the corner of the tank and are attacking the top of the water. Everytime they pop one of their own bubbles it makes a click sound.
