hard to get good pic but this monster has long antennea, one large claw (like a stone crab), a tail that looks like a lobster, long skinny body translucent with black stripes around the body, jointed legs, approx. 1" long. Any ideas?

Could be one of a million things...hard to tell without a larger picture. Is there any way you coudl get pone? do ea search for similar things on a search engine and see what you come up with to compare it to.

I believe is a tiger pistol. I got two of those that came in a rock with mushrooms.
 
From your discription I would agree with the Pistol Shrimp but also check Mantis Shrimp just in case they are similar in appearance but while a Pistol is fine for a reef tank you dont want a Mantis in a reef. Also know that both will make a loud clicking noise almost like snapping your fingers sounds. This is normal.
