Chiragra's are generally tempered this way, but like all stomatopods, individual experience will vary on the specimen.

I just got my first time Chiragra about a month ago, and she's quite the character, disappears for days, then suddenly she's just darting and swimming around the tank for a good hour, usually the day after feeding, its actually entertaining which I didn't expect.

My tank light for her is off all the time except in niche cases to check and make sure she's alright. Her activity could relate to her feeling like the tank is a giant burrow in the dark rather than open water.
