Based on the leg patterns I want to say it's a baby banded coral shrimp
But I could be way off as the adults don't have patterned legs, just pincers
 
I was initially thinking the same but I cannot find one that I can match specifically and I have seen some cleaner species that have similar markings and are near see through as well but they seem to all have more white markings on the body.
 
1.5 inchs excluding Antenna...He seems to perch on a rock a few inches above the sand with his two claws nearly together swinging back-and-forth left and right in unison like he’s holding a ball

i got one too from Fragbox in Toronto.

guy said it was some kind of pacific cleaner shrimp.

Looks kind of like anton bruuni but with less markings.
 
No the LFS near me is very unknowlagable regarding saltwater anything and the owner gives me what he can't ID if I am willing to take the item. This was one of three shrimp with this look this one was sharing a tank with another and then one was in a separate tank. They came in their order on Monday.
 
I have now purchased the other two from the store. The one owner said they came in as an anemone shrimp...I haven’t seen any specific match. More pics

Looks like Urocaridella antonbruunii to me. A commensal anemone shrimp
