Just a couple photos to give you some peace of mind.
If you just received some RCS, and they are nearly clear, with no red showing at all, do not panic. Here is a recent pic of some RCS I received from Msjinks, taken when they first went into tank after drip aclimation.

Notice how pale they are, and the tiny little fella at the end of the Kens veggy stick with calcium.

Here are some pics of the RCS from Msjinks, a couple days after getting used to the water.



As you can see, they sure turn deep red fast! So just let em go into the tank, and relax. If your water is clean, and ammonia free, they will look great in no time.

Here is a bonus pic, a red spot nerite, also from Msjinks
