    The clicking noises are solved! I knew I had a pistol shrimp. The little guy finally showed himself today.

    Now - does anyone know what kind of pistol shrimp this is?

    Heres my guess... It look small like a Juvi so the link will have a pic of a mature shrimp but. at least it may get you in the correct direction..

    p.s You can get a shrimp gobie and they will team up ... It's kinda cool..
    Good Luck...
