My two guesses: You’re looking at a hitchhiker or one of your cherries produced this because it comes from an unstable color lineage. I would lean more towards a hitchhiker since it’s so evenly blue.
All colors of neos come from selective breeding from the wild type. Sometimes, there is a genetic throw-back and you get a different color. It is more likely a hitch hiker.
How long have you had the shrimp? It could be a hitchhiker like the others said. But all colors of neocaridina shrimp are technically the same species bred to display a particular color. My dream blues (same color as this!) have bred so much that now they have the occasional red cherry baby.

Idrather comment on that alien on the left😯
Blue can be born from two red parents.
I’m fighting that algae too. Hard to get rid of.
You might get a chocolate if the red and blue mate.
Hehe I have the exact same kind of shrimp. Guess mine hitched in a plant or something. Still going strong 2 months later.
Why would anyone mind your bba? It’s in your tank.
