looks like a glass anemone shrimp of some sort, id put it with an anemone or coral if you have one as i hear they dont last long without a host.

Would they eat coral?

 

[Shadowbass]

Ive heard they eat the mucus and poop from their host but i dont believe they will irritate them but the may fight with other small shrimp that get close to their host. if youve got frogspawn, hammers, bubble, torches or other tentacled corals like them they will do as hosts.

Out of curiosity where did you get him?

 

[Bongo Shrimp]

This is almost certainly Urocaridella sp., possibly Urocaridella antonbruunii. There's several unnamed species that are frequently seen in the wild and the trade, but they can be hard to differentiate. They are cleaners and are very active and bold.

They dance.

Urocaridella are a type of cleaner shrimp, not an anemone shrimp. They like caves. They also like to hover as opposed to perching. So if they are swimming around, definitely Urocaridella.
