Those look to be Opae Ula Shrimp.

In that picture, those are Hawaii Volcano Shrimp (Opae Ula). The toughest shrimps I've ever seen. The rocks are just dead coral rocks, with algae on them.

And here is a video clip of them feeding, there are so many, it is a little bit "distrubing" ;-)

They look very nice! They need brackish to live right?

They can be acclimated to freshwater but will only breed with certain salinity.

I bought a new camera and camera equipment last week and it arrived Friday. Here's results from the trial photoshop.

Chef, Great photos!! What kind of equipment and camera did you upgrade to?

I upgraded from an iPhone 5s to a FujiFilm X-T1. I didn't buy tradition cameras such as Nikons or Canons, but I don't regret the X-T1. It looks and feels amazing. Lens is a Zeiss 50mm macro lens and various camera equipment.

I realized uploading from camera to phone to forums is giving me a low quality photo. I'm going to try importing to my pc and posting from there instead to see if quality improves.

I am interested in purchasing a new camera with a macro lens. Just not even sure where to start. I need to research a bit. Your photos are fantastic, even if there "low quality" to you, but they look high quality to me!
