I found a dead crab in the bottom of the tank, it was a little hairy crab, but one of his claw was cut off, it was a very clean cut and it hasn't be eating.

Can any one please help me with this. confused.gif help-whip.gif sad.gif

Hmm pistols and mantis shrimps tend to produce the clicking sounds.I think you need to hunt it at night using those red torch lights.

Common... there are more crabs in your tank than you know... try using a torchlight to view your tank 2-3 hours after lights off and when the tank is in pitch darkness and you'll discover alot of other "life"... wink.gif
