advice for my yashia/pistol shrimp

I added a yashia and pistol shrimp pair about 4-5 days ago. As soon as I put them into the tank, they went straight under a rock and I havent seen them since. I have seen holes that the shrimp is making, but see no sign of life from the yashia goby. should I be concerned?

I doubt it. Those guys tend to hide for a while after being introduced. Give them a while to settle in and then they'll make their appearance. My yashia took over two weeks to show his face.

I expect he's hiding somewhere. Mine vanished for over a week in my 55g and I was sure he was RIP...but low and behold he popped up again!
