I have this little critter that came along when we put some new live sand in our tank. He only comes out every once in a while so I haven't got a chance to get a pic of him but if I can I will. I will explain him for now. He is very small about the size of a pencil eraser he is white with little black stripes across his face and back. He looks like a mini shrimp of some sort. Not sure. He comes out when we feed sometimes and hes wicked fast. The fish sometimes try to run after him but ooooooooohhh no hes a quicky. Like I said I'll try to get a pic but I'm not sure when I'll see him next. For now does he sound familiar?
 
You Rock!!! Thats exactly what it is....are these guys ok to have in tank or should I hunt him down and ruin his existance? :twisted:
 
should I hunt him down and ruin his existance?

No need. They are excellent detrivors and a natural food source for other animals.
