Is my crab dying???

[PeterB113]

My arrow crab has been at the top of the rock scape all day, which is odd because during the day hes always in his cave. He hasnt moved AT ALL, ALL DAY. Hes definitly still alive when i go near him with my tweezers he moves. Anybody know whats going on? Maybe molting? Please Help!!
