They look like over exposed RPE to me- under 10k lights. What is your lighting? Either way they are very nice and healthy. Good luck with them

under 10ks, but just got them yesterday...
 
Looks like RPE to me also. You are running only 10k thats why they look a tad brown. Add some blue actnic and you will see the color change. How much did you pay if you don't mind me asking? I've noticed some of my LFS are selling these also on the same type of frag disc yours is on.
 
Where are they from, Casey (Em Bay)? There two types of RPE's out there. The ones on zoaid ID'd as RPE and the ones on zoaid ID'd as OPE's. I have both now and the difference is that the ones ID'd as RPE's are like the first ones you got from the Critter. The ones ID'd as OPE can be red or orange depending on lighting. Under lower K values, they tend to look more orange, but once they acclimate under higher K value lighting, they turn a bright almost metallic red. The OPE-true RPE's have a circular section just around the mouth that is obvious when compared to the other RPE's you have. I had mine under 12K's and they were still orangish, but under 15K's they are starting to turn more red. I need to come by and raid your tank again;).
