Default Unknown shrimp (No pic.)

I just bought a millipora, and right now it's in a bucket getting acclimated. But I put the flashlight on it and I saw a small lime green shrimp, picking away at the coral, in a cleaning manner. There is also a acro crab on it. Anyone know what that shrimp is? Sorry don't have a camera. It's about the size, of the frozen PE mysis shrimp. Any imput would be appreciated. Thanks

Does it have lighter-coloured lines along the length of its body? Perhaps a Coralliocaris sp. (C. graminea, C. viridis), or Alpheus sp.

Teevee! I can't really see any sort of a line just looks all lime colour. He is right next to the crab and they don't seem bothered by each other. So he is ok to put in my tank?

As Brad said, they are quite fine.

Search on crinoid snapping shrimp. It's lime green, but translucent, right? I had a couple in my tank before.
