Pet stores and shipping stresses shrimp. When stressed they lose most of their color.

Well, one was up next to the glass a few minuters and this colouration seems to be caused by very tiny specks of pigmentation (brownish reddish orangeish colour) and it is dispearsed. Little polkadots of colour barely noticable... smaller than the specks on the palest most transparent rcs I have.
