Any idea, looked like a shrimp as it did have antennae but dove under the trachy.

See if you can gently blow it off with a turkey baster and remove then take another pic or two in a cup
 

The markup does make it look like a shrimp to me too. I'm not sure if I am imagining it, but it looks like there is a flared tail as well.

It looks like there is distinct banding around the abdomen as well.
 

Does it resemble any of these?

I was looking at Bleigh's post and came across this pic.

Woah this is interesting, nothing like mine, but what is it?
 
If it was a pod or a shrimp.you'd think the trachy would eat it.If it's living there its more likely a pest.

I have several different kinds of shrimp and not only do my corals not eat them, my anemones don't eat them!
 
Thank you everyone for your input, false alarm, it was nothing, I turned her over, nothing under her. Possibly a shrimp taking refuge, no bite marks or missing flesh. She was feeding perfectly, and overnight tentacles extended.
