Ok, is it a continual rapping, ie. snap snap snap snap snap snap (prolonged snapping)
or
just a few raps?
A mantis will do the 1st, where as a snail with a hitchhiker on board or a pistol shrimp will just make a few quick raps.
You say a couple times a day, any particular times, ie. after feeding or when lights go on/off?

i would have to agree with CG, might be your lights/ballest
how long have you had the lighting, and if it happens at noon, how long have they been on?
could also be the ballest breaking in, is it an electronic or tar ballest?
i also have to agree w/ Gresham, MS tend to make a bit more noise then just once or twice, i will no more on this one next month, as i will have one
