Armoured Shrimp?!

Hey all im pretty new here and just building more and more knowledge from you guys. I recently bought an "armoured" shrimp a few weeks ago.. think they are also known as filter shrimp or sumthin like that. Anyways, it never ever comes out its found a spot at the back of my tank behind my statue and i never see it. Was just wondering if anyone has any infomation on them or from people who have kept one to find out what they are like and if hel stay there 4eva lol. In the fish store he was quite active the most active in the tank.. maybes its just i hav better hiding spots?? Also does anyone know how big these guys grow?

I believe they are sometimes referred to as bamboo shrimp, but am not 100% positive on that. That is the problem with common names; They are regional and vary greatly world-wide. Hence why the latin name is something the fishstores should start giving, but that isn't your fault that the store didn't do that.
