I bought cherry shrimp at Aquarium Adventure and this little guy was with them. Is this a cherry shrimp with a different color or could it be a different species.

When you say little guy, do you mean the big brute at the back in the middle of your picture?
I believe that to be an Amano Shrimp, great algae cleaners, recently got some myself, but am no shrimp expert.
 
I think there is a shrimp section in the forum, maybe a moderator will move this for you?

He, he. That made me laugh.
 
The picture isn't very clear but it doesn't look like a cherry to me. If it is, it's a big mama that has a very mutated colour.
