Can't tell you about groupings, but they are a deep water shrimp and are
very secretive.  Most once you put them in a reef tank you can hardly see
them, and this is how they are in the wild as well according to a
collector.  Which is the reason why they are even more rare than cleaner
shrimp to get here in Australia.  I suspect that the intense lighting has a
bit to do with this behaviour in our tanks as well.

Catch ya,
