Clicking Noises

[fishcake]

Hi,

Question: Can worms make clicking noises? if so, which worms can make clicking noises?

My porcelain crab has mysteriously died. leaving only a claw to be found.

I know i have worms in my tank. possibly even a very small bobbit worm. (not sure yet).

However, I also have clicking noises coming from the rocks in my tank. close to wear the worm lives.

Is it possible that the noises come from the worm and also is the cause of the dead crab?

If anyone can help that would be great!

It is likely to be from a pistol shrimp. Interesting creatures (you can give it a google), though they can be extremely annoying if they were not deliberately introduced.

It is an extremely elusive shrimp then.

Do they eat thumb sized crabs?

I have 2 pistols in a separate tank and it is obvious that they are there. they dig and dig and dig.

However, this other tank with the clicking noises. Can't tell its there at all. except for the noises.

Different type of pistol shrimp maybe?

Could be another crab, take out the rock and check.

Most likely pistol shrimp. Unlikely to kill crabs. Harmless guy.

Not true. Mine kills whatever it sees. Shot the head off my lobster.
