More than likely they are just hiding somewhere due to being introduced to a new environment. I've experienced the same thing of adding a new resident to my tank only to not see it anywhere for several days. My cleaner shrimp does that to me on a weekly basis. I can't find it anywhere even though I look everywhere in my tank. And then at some time when I'm not actively searching for it, I see it pop out from behind the rock somewhere.

Give them a couple days, I'm sure they'll show up!

good news got up today and saw them both swimming around the tank :) i put some frozen brine shrimp in there and they eat like pigs but they are a bit shy when we get to close to the tank but only to the point of going behind yhe rocks not in the sand thanks every one

Brine shrimp for them is like popcorn for us, it is a treat but not very nutritious at all. They should eat a variety of frozen foods such as Mysis Shrimp, Krill, Plankton, Cyclopeeze, and so forth. One of the San Francisco Bay brands for saltwater carnivores is a decent choice, and some people swear by Rod's food.
