There are different color morphs for that species. You probably didn't buy an orange one. I waited 4 years to find the one in my avatar. They are very good at camouflage. Best you can do is try putting red decor in there or add 1/4 red gravel in with his sand, to see if he gets redder. Cool fish in any color though!
