I saw these little red tropheus at Aquotix and can't remember what they are called. Does anyone know the name/variant I am talking about?

I did a bit of searching on the google and a couple of forums said the firecracker can refer to a few different types of tropheus
First pic looks cool

There are shops selling them under the false moliro name which is the perfect way to taint the moliro variant.

Red Pheonix is another name.
They will change in color from orangey pink to red pink, depending on water and frame of mind.
The water at Aquotix is very good which shows the fish in good dress.
Quite hardy compared to other tropheus to.

Is that a line bred albino tropheus or natural occuring?
