Definitely a damselfly nymph. You should remove it immediately. Here's a few pictures of one:

Holly molly. I think I found a couple of Coelenterata (Hydras) in the tank.

They look exactly like the ones in the first picture. One attached to Myno plant, and one attached on the rock. They are tiny, maybe 1-2mm long, but I'm afraid they will be harmful to shrimplets. I might have to redo the entire tank..
