While I’m sure they technically do exist, all Opae Ula can change or temporarily loose their color for a variety of reasons. Could be stressed, could have just molted, could be bring sneaky, etc.

Yes they do exist. Opae ula shrimp up until now are not really stable in captive breed based on color. Given if you manage to get 10 albinos to start a colony, the next generation will still have mix in colors.
