Well we bought a skunk shrimp today. We brought him home, acclimated him really good, set him free where he promptly found a nice comfy hole to hide in. All we've seen for the last three hours is his whiskrs. lol. Hopefully he'll warm up and come out later.

hand feed him in a day or two and see if he'll come out

Ok, I have some frozen m. shrimp my percs eat. I'll try that in the morning. I know he's probably still stressed out.

yea, give him the day to get used to everything

he'll probaby molt within the week - most do soon after a tank move.

my cleaners hide in the back all day... I need to get them trained to come out more. I haven't tried anyting yet, but it should just be as simple as hand feeding them a few times a week and slowly they should get more confident they are safe in the tank.

same should apply for your skunk...

Hopefully it'll work. I'll start trying in the morning.
