Looks like a small/baby Mantis Shrimp. If so, it will kill everything in your tank...

You say it moves really fast? Does it hide more than stay out in the open?
Those are both characteristics of a mantis shrimp, but I wouldn't bet much on it because the photos are still pretty sketchy. You need to catch it and put it in a smaller container so you can get a better photo.

got it ID
thanks guys for your efforts. a friend of mine here in Curacao identified it. it is a BAY GHOST SHRIMP. (Neotrypaea californiensis)
They usually are found on the Pacific coast of North america but this one was found in Curacao in the Caribbean. Thanks |

Not sure why it's in the Caribbean, but that's definitely a ghost shrimp. They burrow and you probably won't see it much once it settles in.

I have a coral banded shrimp, and it was a model citizen for the first five months. Just in the last couple of weeks it has been actively stalking most of my smaller fish, and even tried to drag a wrasse out of from under a rock. I have moved it to my QT to try and rehome it. (QT is not medicated).
