Bump.
I was thinking some sort of amphipod or shrimp.
These should definitely help you out, especially the second link:

Thanks for the links 5xevy (http://www.aquariacentral.com/forums/member.php?u=62749).Great read.
Niko thats exactly the same as i found in my tank.
Is it a Mantis shrimp or do you think it could be a pistol shrimp?
Thanks.
