Depending on how long you've had them, they may have died, been eaten, etc. But yes, they are quite amazing at hiding in crevices in the rock. _________ Kibbles and bits and bits and bites, and bacon and bits and kibbles and bits...... NOT reef safe  | |

I would agree and say they are probably hiding in the rocks

It was hiding in a crevice. It was a bugger to get him back out, because he is going back to the LFS.

They do reproduce. I had 15, that grew to 25 and they have all disappeared since. I only have empty shells now. They jump into bigger shells too. I watched one at night move from one to another, they are uuuuuugly outside of the shell.
