I purchased two sexy shrimp last night got them acclimated place in tank when lights where out seemed to be hanging out on the rock work all night then this morning found them hiding deep in the rock work. Is this common for the first few weeks or should I be worried will post pics when they decide to come out

what else is in your tank? I have some in 2 different tanks and they mostly like to hang out "on" things. one tank always on my flower nem, the other on the polyps of a gorgonian... so maybe something is scaring them, or they need something to perch on. Also, it may take them a few days or more to find their comfy spot.

seems pretty tame.. the pistol shrimp is the only thing that might murder it, but it would need to go near it. maybe it'll just take a few days...
