Fire Shrimp question

Just picked one up yesterday. First time I've had this species in my tank.
Pretty expensive creature to have hidden in the rock and not see.
Do they eventually venture out of the rock so they can be viewed?
 
I had one for about two years (before my yellow candy Hogfish decided he liked the taste of shrimp!) and he only came out at feeding time. Nice looking shrimp, but only saw it once a day. :)
 
So, I get home from work and the skunk cleaner and fire shrimp are hanging out together less than 3 inches apart.
 
I have a cleaner shrimp and a fire shrimp. Cleaner is out all the time. Fire only comes out during feedings
 
This is an interesting shot of my skunk cleaner. Used flash as the actinics were on.
I think the fire shrimp was behind the rock.
