He should be fine but keeping him in ISO for a few days is good idea. Is any of his exo left? If so, offer it to him along with tasty post-molt foods (honey, peanut butter, calcium...cuttlebone flakes or crushed eggshells) to ensure that his new exo hardens properly. Be sure to give him a dip in the FW pool to get that yummy just-molted smell off before releasing him back into the main tank.

Thankfully the molter had went into a much too big shell for him before going down so the bully doesn't seem to have done too much damage. There are marks on the molters big pincher but that is all I can see at this point. I have the molter in isolation now so hopefully he does ok. He hasn't come out of his shell yet. But...is that normal?? The chirper stopped chirping as soon as I moved the bully away...it was almost as if was yelling at him. It was amazing! And it worked, because I likely would not have noticed until much later had I not heard the chirping and went to investigate! 
I do tend to anthropomorphize, but it's not a stretch to believe they help one another. Ive seen what looked like empathetic behavior between them before--moving out of the way so another could get by, "visiting" a new addition to the tank who is hiding as if encouraging the other to come out....that sort of thing. So, I'd buy it.
