This is a Scarlet Cleaner Shrimp (Lysmata amboinensis).

The cleaner shrimp gets its name from its behavior of cleaning
parasites and damaged scales from many species of fish, including
moray eels and large groupers. Although it would make a tasty morsel,
the shrimp is allowed to clean inside the fishes' mouth in complete
safety with no danger of being eaten.
