the creepy thing is a skeleton shrimp

I googled skeleton shrimp and they are very "shrimp" looking. This looks mire like a marine walking stick. His torso is about 3/8" long

Found it. Its a sea spider. Thanks for looking though.

Looks like gulf piefish or also called freshwater pipefish.

I did get a couple bristleworms, though (and a tube worm, but it expired shortly before the tank move.)

Sea spider is bad, but very odd.
