what is this thing?!

Could anyone tell me what the hell this thing is? It moves really fast and it has maybe 6 legs, hard to tell. The picture might not do justice but you should get the idea.

Hard to tell without a clearer pic but based on the shape and speed- I'm thinking some sort of isopod.

The pic is pretty blurry, but I'm thinking it's a male sphaeromatid isopod. They are harmless. Try getting a closer, clearer shot for us.

Thanks, I did alittle research myself and an isopod is what I'm coming up with too. My camera isn't great anymore so that's the best I can do.
