Is it a sick shrimp?

Found this AB that has red insides (even its poop is red, sorry for TMI). I didn't feed them any red food yesterday and I see only one shrimp with red inside so far. Should I worry? The shrimp looks fine and active.

Some best shots I could take (sorry, I'm a bad photographer)

I'm assuming the AB stands for Aura blue correct? Because it looks like one.  Its still a young AB correct? I have some young AB's and they look like yours. My previous group of young AB's also looked very similar to yours and as the shrimps matured they became very blue and what you see now becomes unnoticeable. I've been doing AB's for six months so I'm not an expert but I think its just organs and food/waste your a seeing.

Thank you, Vpier! (That shrimp in the picture is an adult.)

 

Just wanted to update. The very next day I didn't find the shrimp (or it looked normal and I didn't recognazed it). But that day there was a molted female that had a little bit of red in her guts. At least I don't see anything alarming in the tank...
