Fire red is a grading term, Bloody Mary is a variant name.

Ok thanks I asked him again and he says he thinks they are bloody mary shrimp does that look right?

Looks like a Bloody Mary. Need to see the rostrum, a bit difficult to see the rostrum in your picture.

The rostrum are the two appendages that stick out directly in front of the shrimps face. In BMs they're usually shorter but from the looks of it those red shrimp look like really high grade painted fire red shrimps

Bloody mary can be notoriously difficult to photograph! In short, they appear to glow from the inside as if they are a red ruby.

Fire red on the other hand are opaque and do not "glow".

 

Here's a picture of a bloody mary (not my picture!)
