Are they shrimps used to host with arco's?

[delta410]

I know of crabs hosting with acros to help clean and etc... but I'm having trouble finding some of these crabs.
Do people also use these shrimps as host for acros? If so, anyone know what it's called?

They live mainly within acropora's. I have several varying in color, from green, blue, red, etc, but mainly green as shown above. Depending on the acropora they are hosting within.

They are called Coralliocaris graminea aka Green Acropora Shrimp.
