I bought a peppermint shrimp about a week ago that does the same thing. I honestly thought he may be dead because days went by with me seeing him but he scurried out and grabbed a piece of food when I was feeding the fish and I haven't seen him since. However I had a coral banded shrimp when I had a nano and he was always out and about, he and the damsel I had would fight. The damsel would dive bomb his claws and he would get mad and just stalk him throughout the tank.

I have both pep and cleaner, pep was gone for weeks and is still very shy. Hangs upside down under rocks and the cleaaner would stay just out of sight for about a month. All we could see was antenna sticking out. Now it comes out about 7pm and walks around the front of tank.

my pep in my 2g dont have many places to hide but there is a lice little tunnel under one side of the rock that goes from front to back thats where he usually hangs out. theres also a cave into the rock he sneaks into for a few minutes then comes back out.
Alot of the time though hes out and about. Climbing over the rocks and the corals like he owns the places.... He is the biggest life in there besides my gorgonia but still lol.
