I assume this was a rock pool filled with sea water?

I'm afraid I don't know much about marine creatures  :(

Yes it was, I’m seeking the answer because it looked different to krill and shrimp

My best guess would be brown shrimp - in what ways did you believe it looked different to shrimp?

It looks more like an insect larva of some description. It's those.....tenctacles, spikes, things..... sticking out of the head that give me that impression.
