Mantis shrimp. Dangerous little guys, will usually kill most snails/crabs/shrimp/clams/some fish.
Incredible animals, but the tank has to built around them.

Actually it may be an amphipod, see if it has eyes, google picture of mantis shrimp and if it has those eyes its mantis, if not likely a large amphipod.
