Default Don't know what this is, a little help please.

I decided I was probably giving my tank alittle too much light so I reset the timer. Anyway when I came down to it this morning the lights were off except some small blue LEDS. (Red Sea MAX130D).

Anyway this guy was sitting on some LR looking around. ANyone Know what he is?
