I was looking into the shrimp tank this morning, having a coffee..
When I saw what looked like a shrimps molt.
When I looked closer it seemed to be a tiny clear "spring". It was crawling up the moss, very slowly and its movement was really cumbersome.
Is it a parasite?
It scared me a little bit.
I did kill it with the tweezers accidentally. It was about half an inch long!
When I took it out of the water, its skin seemed to be made of a very elastic dot matrix. It was completely see through. Very alien looking.
Here's some pics.

Photography is terrible on my phone, its also a very close up image.
Some expertise would be very appreciated, this thing freaked me out big time
