    most probably true, but can't be sure until those shrimp taxonomy expert confirm it. Problem with LFS is they never include the scientific name

    Though some LFS sold the shrimp labelled as Sakura, however it look like normal cherries to me, may be due to water condition. But i do come across some pictures post by other, sakura seem to be completely red, look like top grade cherries.

    cheers

    sakura = deep red colouration, red cover full body, male and female both have the same redness.
    cherry = deep red colouration only for big female, red does not cover full body, male is pale while female is redder.
