I have an odd color male in my RCS tank. Noticed him a couple weeks ago (he's hard to miss). He's identical to my other RCS in every way, including color pattern, but instead of deep red, he's pumpkin orange. Every other shrimp in the tank is homogenous dark red. He looks like a Black & Decker tool next to the other shrimp. I tried to take some pictures with algae wafer bait, but nothing will hold still because everything is fighting over the food.
I'll link to the best original pic I took, because when I try to do any editing to crop it down, I lose even more of how much this shrimp contrasts with the rest.
NOTE 1.76MB and on a slow server: http://ezcry4t3d.dyndns.org/fish/pictures/20090916_181314.jpg
Orange male on left, typical male at top, young female on right, insistent goby center...
Just how unusual is this?
