Can anyone help ID these critters found in Belize the week of February 5-12, 2022? Some type of sea hare, juvenile snapper, and shrimp (I'd like to know specific if possible from quality of photo.) Thanks in advance!

Yes, #3, good call.#2 Petalifera ramosa, the scattered low pinkish tuberacles are a good indicator of this particular seahare.
#3 Perhaps a Velvet Shrimp, Metapenaeopsis goodei ?
The shrimp was sitting on a coral during a night dive. When I have seen velvet shrimp, they were usually in the sand sharing a hole with a blenny. Would the location rule out velvet shrimp?#2 Petalifera ramosa, the scattered low pinkish tuberacles are a good indicator of this particular seahare.
