Mantis or not?

Not sure what I have. I have a white bug thing that came on my urchin about 3 months ago. I havent noticed it since. Just today I saw it climbing on a rock for a second. It is white like paper. I was wondering if there are any pictures of what the mantis shrimp look like when they are small after hatching or so. I am sure its not that, but I just want to know.

Thanks
 
Ya when I bought around 100 pounds of live rock and was putting it in, I saw this little white thing crawling around it, to me is look like a baby mantis but I wasn't sure so I had to destroy him, but now I regret not putting him in my 10 gallon and watching it grow.
 
Nope, it was shorter. small little legs in the front and a bigger butt or thorax. It would look like a common tick I guess you could say. Is there a website that has pictures of these little buggers?
