Peppermint shrimp MIA

[Turtle77]

Ok so I was trying to help myself out with the Aiptasia outbreak in my tank. So I have been treating it with Aiptasia-X and so I also got myself a Peppermint Shrimp from the LFS. I brought him home and acclimated him to the tank properly. He immediately went under the rocks and I havent seen him in the open since and this is like the 3rd day. If I look really hard I can see him through the cracks in the rocks. He is moving but its almost like he is upside down but clinging to the under side of a rock. Also I can see a little of his tail and it looks black. I am assuming this isnt normal. Is he stuck in there and should I move a few rocks to get him out?

Thats pretty normal for them. In groups I think they're a bit more daring, but he'll hide and probably come out at night.

No need to worry!

get out your red light and you'll see it cruise the tank after lights out

They pretty much only show themselves at night but if he went in the rocks he can get himself back out so don't worry he is stuck . Good luck with the aptasia eradication!
