Is this a shrimp?

I saw this swimming at the top of my tank.. Is this a shrimp? I've never bought any shrimps at all.

I can't be sure since I've never done saltwater but it looks like the scuds I have in my freshwater tank. They are related to shrimp and I think they are classified as pods. My fish think they are tasty. I think mine came in on plants.

Looks more like a pod than a shrimp.

What's a pod?

Copepods, Amphipods and Isopods are little "bugs" you may see scurrying about your live rock - especially after lights out.
