Cleaner Shrimp in Mega Biorb always hiding

Hello friends,
I just wanted to ask those of you who have more experience than myself the following:
I have one cleaner shrimp in the 16 gal biorb. Temp and salinity levels are within range... when I added shrimp last friday, it moved around a lot, was active and eating. the last 4 days, he has been hiding and does not swim/explore. Is this normal? The only other fish I have in the tank is a royal gamma.
Thanks in advance..
Mychael

isn't a Mega Biorb a round bowl type tank? do you have a power head in there to help aerate the water? It could be that it is just molting (shedding its skin) they will hide for a few days until its new shell hardens.
