Your very welcome. I'm not 100% on this but if they exhibit the same morphology as other shrimp they should be protandric simultaneous hermaphrodites. Oddly though they choose to fertilize only one partner, very cool to watch. When the breeding cycle occurs one of them will hide for about a week, the other remains out on the hunt.
