Strange green creature


Hi--We just got some new live rock for our 75g tank and this green creature has appeared. Almost looks like a shrimp, but swims like a fish and is very quick. It looks like it has white points on it's tail and no legs that I can see. Flourescent green in color. It's really very ugly and I'm concerned about our large coral population. Haven't been able to find anyone who can tell me what it is. Please help

Indeed, we'd really need a picture to have any chance of an ID. Could you get one?

i agree with the rest we need pics for a positive ID but off the top of my head it sounds like it might be a mantis shrimp
