Tapping noise in my marine tank

This is bizarre, I have a tapping noise coming from an inhabitant of my tank, I have checked all equipment. I understand this could be a mantis shrimp or pistol shrimp but could anything else cause this? I have a red light coming hopefully tomorrow so I can look around long after lights out when I get home from work. Lets say it is a mantis how do you extract it from a tank with close to 100kg of rock in? How bad are they? Could I out box it lol?

There are shrimp traps out there.

Holy crap, I've heard of mantis shrimp but had no idea why they were so potentially dangerous.

Hopefully your problem is something simple.

Manny managed to get out of the refugium and survived the pump and ended up in the display tank some months ago. I haven't bothered trying to remove him. All the hermits are still accounted for and so are the fish
.
Admittedly Manny is only 4~5cm
and won't be growing much more if at all.
