In most cases where people have tried to assist (in hermits and other crustaceans), they have either done nothing or made matters worse. Unfortunately at this time the only thing you can do is wait and hope and resist the urge to disturb him.

Good luck - I hope he pulls through.

He's gone. I did the same iso set up I had before, while I was regulating my hospital tank. Someone managed to get into it and... X_X

Thanks guys, means a lot. If I had only been able to move him lastnight, but the hospital tank's conditions just weren't right. Today when I got home from work they were perfect... But too late.
