Found thus guy on my sand bed, thought it'd be a good idea to catch it incase it was harmful. What could it be? Looks like some form of shrimp, but i cant tell :(

Do you have a specimen container you can put him in? Get a pic without all the blues on. White light. :)
 
I can't be 100% sure but that looks like a bumble bee shrimp (Gnathophyllum americanum) they only grow to about 1" ... It is peaceful but carnivorous.
