Can anyone ID it ?
 
The body shape is very cherry shrimp like, a cool looking shrimp whatever it is.
 
That's a cherry shrimp. Looks a bit like the 'blueberry' RCS shrimp they sell in the US, which can be anywhere from blue to black.
 
I got a few freebies from a LFS a while ago that were cherries with some other genes mixed in, but the guy didn't know what else they'd been bred with.

A few of them have developed a dark colouration like this, and some blue accents (and some orange as well). So depending on how sure you are of your shrimp's ancestry they might just be hybrids of some sort.
