    They hide in the rocks, but will come out & stay out most once comfortable. They will revert to thier name sake & 'dart' back in the rocket work when they get scared.

    They will also "dart" for the carpet if you run an open top, so hope your running some sort of cover.

    Yep staying in rock crevices is normal. It took mine a good 4 days until it openly roamed my tank. It doesn't even gets scared anymore when my niece slaps the glass.
