You probably have a crab, and the head you saw was probably a molt. I have a crap in my tank that just showed up. I used to see him only a night, he would just come to the edge of his hole. Now he roams the tank and i see him every time i feed. Mine has spoon like claws and doesn't seem interested in my livestock at all.

Your cleaner could also be molting, as mine will disappear once in a while ( i assume to hide to allow his new shell to harden). If you see what looks like a cleaner body don't fret right away, becasue is could and probably is just his old shell. When mine molts it old shell look exactly like him, legs, antenna and all.

If you want to catch that crab. Get a tall drinking glass and put some food in the bottom and place the glass at an angle in your tank. Preferrably when the lights turn off.
