Does it look like this? Heres a picture of mines when I first got it on June 23. Some had more red than others out of a tank of 10. Got first dibbs and netted this one with the most red and was the most stable and active. Still have not seen this guy go unstable yet.IMG_7914.JPG

That reddish coloring could be a regional variation.
