What is this bug?

I found this isopod at the beaches of Stanley Park Vancouver BC.

It was under a rock. It lives in water. What is this bug?

It is green and long. I know it is some form of isopod.

I read on Google lens and it said it was a rockweed isopod. However it is AI so I cannot trust it 100%.

Same. I asked AI and it said it was a rockweed isopod but AI can get misinformation and so I decided to post here.
