We get loads of palaemon serenus down my way that clean me when I go diving. They have red claws and red stripes, but yours are nicer though :)
They're great feeder shrimp because they eat anything so gut loading is easy.
They look nice a ornamental shrimp too, but make sure they're all very well fed. They will turn canabalistic if there's not much food around. I even had a 2 inch long serenus kill a 1 inch black trevally who was a very quick and active fish.
