Any way to tell apart mimic chests from normal ones?

[Forest Dweller Yamu]

You know how Dark Souls has the method where you look at the chain to tell if its a mimic or not? Is there any visual indicator in this game?

[Rattling Rambler]

A small difference I noticed is that the mimics are slightly smaller than the regular chests. Something you can also do if you have to time is to damage the chests until the mimic gets angry and attacks, usually it will attack when it's health is at a quarter.

Edit: I also just found out you can cast an opening spell at one as well.

ring of warning and the blindfold of telepathy both reveal them, as well

I believe either opening or strong hits work

Once open, hit them with locking spell, it deals damage to them

Bear traps are amazing for them, and ring of warning shows them as enemy dots (saved my ass multiple times)

Gyro bot can also detect them.
