Stragler on a Live Rock

:notsure: So I just saw a little guy that looked like a 1/4" long shrimp in my tank I just started on Saturday. He was 1/4" long, shaped like a shrimp, and white to transparent. What is he?

a pod

Thank you Devil Boy. What is a pod? Is he harmful? I was worried I had a baby Mantis.

Sold the last of my tanks last year. At the peak was running 2 - 10g, 1-55g, 1-75g, 1-90g, and a 300g. Too much work for not enough time though. Out of the hobby for 1 1/2 years, back at it though.
