Unidentified Critter?

OK i thought I was still slightly inebriated because i just came in from a party but i looked twice and definitley saw....it! It was tiny, maybe a centimeter long, it looked like a "rolley polley" bug, the kind that roll up into a ball that you play wit as a kid! It was clear with some brown, segmented, with one long pair of antannae, several pair of feet. It moved very fast, darting in and out of crevasses on my rock and it was not connected to a tube. Any ideas?
