Listed as a Red Devil but I've never seen one like this. Lips and eyes are all black, anybody seen one like this before?

Pity they don't stop like that, if it did sell it to a goth
Could be stressed or something. I've witnessed some pretty amazing color changes in my own personal amphilophus. Tough thing here being the RAMPANT cross and inbreeding in our hobby. What you're seeing could be any number of different things there.
Nice, my juvi midevil looks very similar, I have a few before that faded & lost the black pigment,
Poor thing .... Though kind of stands out in a crowd, must be the ill effects of a hybridisation project.
He will definitely fade a few more times before he reaches adulthood, just keep him on a healthy diet, I feed mine freeze dried krill & sprulina pellets as a staple, with weekly water changes & minimum strees from tank mates he will grow into a beast, g/l, keep ud posted!
I find it to be very appealing, but not that out of the ordinary for wild caught individuals, it looks like one of the wild caught individuals in Jeff Rapps photo gallery on his tangledincichlids website
It will not keep the black. Those are condense residual dark pigments still yet to fade. When the fish is still young and still have some in them underneath, when cold or stressed, they will show on the fish. But eventually there will be nothing left, especially this OP fish because he's so small and almost done fading.
After faded to The orange to yellow. That is still darker tone than white. Some can keep on fading to the next level from yellow until white, some slw down or stop in the middle so you have pied/creamsicle monster Amphs.
