I've been reefing a long time now and I have never seen anything like this before. It's an insect looking creature that has wedged itself between my anemone and the back corner glass. Any ideas?

Could it possibly be a nerite snail that is caught between the anemone and glass? I know they have the long feeler-looking things and it looks like I might be missing one of my four.

Whatever it is, it's not moving. The anemone must have it pinned in place.

It was not a snail. The anemone finally moved and the thing is stuck to the glass. It looks like a type of amphipod...but I've never seen one this big before.
