I have so far seen mine everyday. Usually during feeding I see all four which usually stay on the opposite side of the tank as my Skunk cleaner shrimp. Some tell me they never see them but through 2 weeks I have seen them daily. So how often do you all see yours?

I don't have any these days (I think) but I kept them for years and never saw them. I'd always assume they were dead, then 6 months later I'd catch a glimpse of one. If yours are out all the time that is awesome!

I don't see them very often, but if I look under the rock they live under I can generally see them anytime I want to.

It has only been 2 weeks and usually I can only find one or two but during feeding they all come out. I believe part of that is because I have only one fish right now. The tank is essentially just peppermint shrimp and my cleaner shrimp plus one fish.

I just made a thread today about mine. I bought mine months ago. Then I found its skin/shell in my wave maker 2 months ago, thinking it was dead. Well low and behold this morning there is my peppermint shrimp at the bottom of my tank and way bigger. lol So happy he's alive.

I bought my kole tang for my GHA. He worked wonders. Have not had GHA since getting him. My fox face took care of my bubble algea as well. lol love all my fishes.
I had a kole that never helped.

I see my cleaner shrimp every day. All the peppermint shrimp I see occasionally in some of the caves. My emerald crabs I thought died but I finally saw them to
