Shy Blood Shrimp

[Peach02]

So 6 days ago I bought a blood red fire shrimp, acclimated it for 90 minutes and added it to my display (I didn't QT as it had been at my LFS for a month showing no problems and was eating well) Its eating when I feed the tank and found itself a cave that it never strays a inch from. Does anyone know if this is normal and if it will come out more in future or how to encourage it to explore the tank?
no other shrimp or aggressive fish

I'm lucky if I see my blood red shrimp once a month lol. Not abnormal at all

Unfortunately I try to get to it every day, but life gets in the way. We recently moved into a new home, and that's been occupying much of my time between moving, setting up my brand new tank, and right now I'm crawling around in my attic trying to install recessed lighting in my living room lol literally, right now
