Could it be possible that my eyes deceived me, as there was what looked like green algae on the rock during the day and now as I went to turn the LED light on and there is no algae to be seen... is this even possible?
Did anyone else see the green algae from my previous pics earlier today?

Hello,
So I received my shrimps yesterday morning, as soon as I out them I to the tank they all disappeared hiding away in the rock for a good few hours. Well while letting them into the jar 2 got left behind in the bag 😦 so I had to quick dip the bag into the jar to let some water in to aid them out. It was matter of seconds so not sure if it affect them.
Later on when they all decided it was safe enough to come out about 4 out of the 10 remained transparent instead of red. But they all seemed to be swimming around happily and exploring. This morning I can only see around 2/3 of them and they seem to be sitting around the rocks rather then swimming around. Is this normal behaviour?
I noticed last night before bed that the transparent ones were started to gain some colour apart from one who still looked so much like casper. How long after should they all become red?
I have been trying to upload some vids to show but keeps saying error so took some pics instead 😐
