Oh I didn't mean it as a different color variation but as a way of describing the color instead of saying each one was light blue... problems with naming things after colors and then trying to describe the color using a color that is not the name! :/

I thought that blue jellies were the lightest blue with mostly clear shells, blue velvets were sky blue with clear blue shells, and pearls were powdered blue (more milky, whiteish) with opaque shells? It's so hard finding the exact description for these because they are all similar looking and frequently people interchange the names :(!

I was actually trying to find the answer to this for blue velvets and found this on shrimpkeepersforum. They were/are trying to make a family tree for all the colors, so maybe the difference is if the shrimp is chocolate derived or chocolate then black derived? I think most of it is speculation and personal insight on color varieties that offshoot from personal breeding (a collective consensus of those forum members). https://skfaquatics.com/forum/topic/11293-new-library-article-skf-neocaridina-davidi-photo-chart/ https://skfaquatics.com/forum/topic/8474-cherry-shrimp-family-tree-is-finally-here/
