2 inches could be a ghost shrimp. got a picture? there are a lot of clear crustaceans, and look just like them especially when juveniles.

maybe a "prawn" or something in the Macrobrachium family.

does it have a red nose?

red clawed shrimp look like ghosts but get a couple times bigger. not all red clawed shrimp have red claws btw.

chances are, if its a big "shrimp", it'll kill your fish. but then again there are a lot of filter feeding large shrimp.
