    likely to be mountain shrimp, or filter shrimp. It will grow quite huge.
    if you can read this, you are too close.

    you mean it is the size of a cherry shrimp?
    why I don't do garden hybrids and aquarium strains: natural species is a history of Nature, while hybrids are just the whims of Man.

    Ahkarboy,

    It's very, very, very, likely the Singapore Wood Shrimp or related species. Try searching the web for wood shrimp and see if it throws up and pictures similar to what your have.

    The feathery arms helps it catch micro-organisms and other teeny-weeny food. It will normally park itself infront of the filter outlet to take advantage of the water flow for feeding.

    Harmless.

    Why use punctuation? See what a difference it makes:
    A woman, without her man, is nothing.
    A woman: without her, man is nothing.
