Lonely?

My crab has recently lost his soul-crab. I don't quite know why she died, they were recent rescues I got from bad conditions, so yeah. Well, he's in a tank with 4 other crabs, and he's the largest one by far. He hasn't moved in a few days, and he ate a big meal on the day he moved into that tank. (Saturday). Is this normal behavior? Does anyone know a way to resolve this? Anything will help!
P.S. Sorry if I put this in the wrong section. I was debating between Behavior and Misc.

Update:
The crabs are getting up for the night now, and he moved a little. It might be because his tank mate just climbed over him, though. At least he's not dead.

If something happened to her, it could also be affecting him since they came from the same place. I doubt it's her death and it's more likely Post Purchase Syndrome. (Even rescues and adoptions can suffer from this!)
