I must add that the 5th one is specifically a Hawaiian harlequin shrimp.

Notice: Take my IDs with a grain of salt, as I am new to the saltwater side (good amount of experience with freshwater, my salt tank has had fish in it for 5 months)

The first picture looks to be a camel shrimp, Rhynchocinetes uritai (not reef safe)
Not sure about the second picture.
The third looks to be a blood shrimp, Lysmata debelius (reef safe)
The fourth picture looks to be a skunk cleaner, Lysmata amboinensis, reef safe
The fifth picture looks to be a harlequin shrimp, Hymenocera elegans, reef safe. Harlequins are nice, but a pain to keep as they will only eat starfish of Linckia, Fromia sp.

Again, like I said, take my IDs with a grain of salt. Hopefully somebody more experienced will confirm my IDs (or correct them, though I am pretty sure they are right).

I'm ok with that, I have had two of each before, no problems. Will develop eggs sacks under the tail, will stay for about 14 days, then released into the water. Free live food!

They can sometimes kill the other pair. Try to introduce all 4 at once to be safer.
