What is this shrimp?

[Jeff1192]

So I've had my crystal red shrimp tank up and running for a while now and just recently noticed this one shrimp with very different colouring than the rest. The only thing in the tank are CRS. This is the best photo I could get. Any ideas what's going on with the coloration of this one?

Thanks

Strange colours indeed!
The colour made me think purple zebra shrimp. http://www.shrimpfever.com/shop/livestock-shrimp/purple-zebra-shrimp-2/

Or a wildtype bee shrimp from the background genetics and crossing of your crystal reds.

Hope that helps

Tanksalot is correct in his hypothesis - a breeding group of crystals will sometimes randomly "through out" a shrimpet that is non-typical in colouration and pattern to the parent group. Could be some zebra pinto genes are exerting themselves. Happens quite frequently.
