Emerald crabs and peppermint shrimp tend to hide in the rocks. You probably wont see either regularly. I have 1 emerald and only see him once a week or so briefly.
Also, its worth asking (and someone else probably will as well), how did you acclimate both the emerald crabs and shrimp?

Peppermints are nocturnal. Don't expect to see much of them. Look at night with a flashlight.

Shrimp can be very seclusive creatures. So, give it a few weeks to build up trust with you, and you should see it much more. :)

Got Reef?
He has a hawkfish, the shrimp is most likely in his belly

Good call, Kelz. I didn't pick up on that initially.
