Looks to be a pandalus. Will be a mission to find the exact one
 
Looks like a Camelback to me. These guys can cause some trouble if you’re not careful. They could go after some corals and other shrimp in your tank. Cool looking though!
 
They're not peppermints, but also not camel back shrimp. Take a look at the other Lysmata photos and see if you can find any exact matches.

I'd guess L. keukenthali but not 100%...
 
I spent 20 minutes scouring shrimp pics but couldnt find a match...:(

Same here - but the pics are somewhat blurry - and they may be juveniles quite small -without knowing the size etc - its impossible to know what they are
 
Looks like a mechanical shrimp or that's what they are called at my lfs

Edit: camel shrimp
Edit2 not that.

Try red night shrimp
Honestly I dont see this at all - actually - I think they look like juvenile peppermint shrimp. I would not. be posting a picture here and asking - I would be questioning the person from whom I purchased them. I didnt' know there were so many shrimp that looked like peppermint shrimp. And I dont know what any of them look like at 1 week , 1 month, 1 year of age, etc. My guess is you can get a different picture - Which is why I asked the OP to answer - how big are they - where did he get them from etc. :)
 
I ordered this shrimp from another city and will arrive tonight , i will post more pics soon
HI - THANKS - I meant - did you order them as peppermint shrimp (or something else) - why do you doubt the place you bought them from? (ie.. was it a private person - or a store):)
