Hi Yvan, Sorry for the late reply but I haven't checked my email for ages. I've seen a picture of a red looking ram a while ago and have found where i think I saw it. I'm not sure if this is what Dave means but it's the only one I've seen. I saw it in Innes's exotic aquarium fishes : a work of general reference by Innes, William Thornton.
