Looks like a type of amohipod.

How big is it? The picture and vid make it look very large.
If it is small, like a relative size to your pinky nail, then it's most likely an amphipod.

Yes, they do have small claws used to catch prey like copepods, there are many species in the isopod/amphipod families so @ISpeakForTheSeas may also be able to help, here are some photos I got off the internet that may help

This is a Tanaid - they look remarkably similar to Anthuroidean isopods, Ingolfiellidean amphipods, and amphipods from the taxonomic parvorder Corophiidira.Came whit new frag.
Friendly i suppose .
You can tell this is a Tanaid because of two main features:
-The claws (called gnathopods for all of these critters); only Tanaids have the "crab-claw" style gnathopods (i.e. where it has a pincer with two claws instead of a just a hook with one).
-The tail; Tanaid tails are not split, and they are heavily segmented with smaller segments than the rest of the body.
It should be harmless.

タナイス 静岡と茨城から見つけたゼウクソ属の１種（Zeuxo spp.）の画像集
タナイス目の写真集です。茨城県の海岸から採取したタナイスを紹介します。タナイス亜目（Tanaidomorpha）であることは間違いなく、おそらくタナイス科（Tanaidae）と思われますが、同定の決め手がありません。同定には第1触角と第2触角の節の数を調べる必要があるようです。
