Appears to be a very small gorilla cleaning rock. - Gorilla Crab

Deploy a simple trap at night near this location - Glass Glass Crab Trap Method
Small gorilla crabs are nothing to fear as they clean rock. When larger, the crab will begin snacking on your clean up crew. Gorillas and Mithrax Crabs are the easiest to trap. After trapping, add to your overflow or sump. You can also crush it to feed the tank.

Thank you, I found him plucking at one of my mushrooms early this morning prior to reading your response, so I nabbed him with some tweezers very easily :-) lil guy is chilling in my mantis tank now. Love the rock!
