I'm assuming you're talking about the marine cleaner shrimp? There are three families of shrimps that go by this name. Fortunately, they all have similar requirements. Yes, these live in the ocean. Temperature should be mid-upper 70s. As long as you have rocks to hide in, they aren't particular about color. Most of the rock itself is off-white, but can be orangish as well - there are multicolored forms of life that live on the rocks (corals, algaes, sponges, etc.). Some of the shrimp are being bred in captivity, so there's a chance the ones your looking at may have never even seen an ocean! Here are two links to more info on the shrimps:
