Looks like a pill bug. They are a type of isopod that can live on land or water. I doubt it is dangerous but you can catch it and put it outside around some decaying plants or bark to be safe.
I've honestly never seen one in someone's aquarium though. I know people use them as part of a cleanup crew in terrariums and paludariums.
 
Yeah it's not an isopod. I'm growing cultures of isopods, this this is kind of like a goofy grasshopper.
