Tiny White Shrimp Black eyes

[sen5241b]

Got a tiny 'white to clear' shrimp with black eyes less than half the size of my pinky fingernail. Anyone know what he might be? Harmful?

sounds like anemone shrimp. Reef safe and kinda cool little critter

Are you sure it's a shrimp and not a pod? Check out these sites:

Thx bifferwine, but no ID. Good sites though. I did not mention before the thing is shaped like a pill bug but very much looks like a shrimp. It hides a lot and burrows into the sand.

Its an amphipod-reef safe generally.
