Looks like I've found something quite interesting. It appears to be a small shrimp like critter burrowing in the sandbed. It's only about the size of a few grains of sand but I can see swimmerets and eyes. I'll be posting a video showing the scale of the critter and where/how it has burrowed.

likely a species of burrowing amphipod, cool guest, and not so commonly seen
 
Yep that's definitely it
