Wine Red

Wine Red

 

It is unclear whether the Wine Red Shrimp is a direct morph of the Crystal Red Shrimp, or the wild Orange Bee, or perhaps a combination. Wine Reds look very similar to Crystal Reds, with the exception of a mostly-red headgear, as well as deeper shades of red and more solid white.
