its amphipod. a small flattened flea-like or shrimp-like creature that scurry along the substrate. they are important scavengers in reef aquarium, they feed on detritus and algae.

They just hate light and hide in any concealed places. Normally they are more active during the night. If they come out during the day most likely they'll get eaten in no time.
