Default Shrimp won't come out.

I got a fire shrimp a few weeks back ,and the silly thing has taken up residence in the back most corner of my tank ,where he is almost impossible to see. He'll streak out to grab pellets ,but thats about all I'll see of him in the tank.

Is there any way I can convince him to come out and chill in the open more often ,or at least change his spot to somewheres else in the tank ??

The best way to bring him out into the open is to get him a buddy.....there is courage in numbers
