Is this shrimp compatible with dwarf seahorses?

I have a tank set up for some dwarf seahorses. I ordered my clean-up crew online, but I didn't get exactly what I'd ordered. In lieu of 3 sexy shrimp, I received 3 white-spot anemone shrimp. I've had sexy shrimp before, and I loved them. Of course, the company from which I ordered the shrimp has heard from me, but I'm not sure how quick their response time will be, so I have the shrimp in my tank now (no seahorses in there yet; I was planning to add them last). Anyhow, these new guys have pinchers on them, which the sexy shrimp don't, and that makes me pretty nervous. Can I keep them with the h. zosterae, or should I start looking for a new home for them? Any and all advice is welcome. Thanks, everyone!

Oh, a link to a page about the guys I received:

I'm going to say no. That website says they can grow up to an inch and zots are pretty small anyways

The only shrimp I had with mine were Opae'ula (the ones in the cubes you see at "Sharper Image" type stores). These guys were small but I was unsucessful in keeping them alive.
