Have you every bred an unusually coloured invert?

I was thinking about this the other day, and I wanted to know; have anyone ever accidently bred an unusually coloured invert snail, or shrimp, from normal coloured parents? if so, please supply a photo!

Not deliberately, but I did get this one funny-looking guy out of a relatively homogenous population of bloody mary shrimp (neocaridina). His transparent parts are really transparent and his eye stalks are solid white instead of red which makes his googly eyes stand out.

This might be the goofiest shrimp I have ever seen

I currently have a couple of those from some blue shrimp- very odd.

I don’t think you can get albino invertebrates, only possible in vertebrates.

You can get snowball shrimp
they look a bit spooky, especially when they are gravid. Have kept them many many years ago
Snowball Shrimp

Oh Shoot.... thanks for telling me! I will try to change the thread name to unusually coloured instead of albino
