Oracle text
, Sacrifice this creature: Counter target activated ability from an artifact source and destroy that artifact if it's on the battlefield. (Mana abilities can't be targeted.)
The ouphes finally managed to still the clockwork monstrosity by catching themselves in its cogs.

Rulings
Activated abilities contain a colon. They’re generally written “[Cost]: [Effect].” Some keywords are activated abilities and will have colons in their reminder text.
The ability targets an ability on the stack, not the artifact, so it can destroy an artifact with protection from green or one that can’t be targeted by spells and abilities.
