Hey guys, I'm checked up on Shelby rn and I'm seeing him almost of his shell and he's being unresponsive. What should I do, what's happening?

Please try to leave this crab alone to destress. If the crab is still somewhat in the shell, please leave the crab alone, and please as tempting as it is, quit checking on it. It needs darkness. It is either going to make it or it will not. There is nothing else you will be able to do at this point. Stress does not help though.
