It's a ghost shrimp. Let him stay. If its a hitchhiker ur pretty lucky! JL have them from time to time. If you google search ghost shrimp reef and go to images, the fourth pic is one similar to yours.

Nice find!

He looks somewhat like that but not fully will have to try and get a better look.

Looking through Chucks Obsession found one almost identical to the one in my tank. It has a long Latin name when google that name it is indeed a ghost shrimp. Thanks for the help to identify him. And yes he just showed up nothing new in tank except one fish. Larry
