Your hermit crab could just be totally freaked out. If he's alive, give him time. You could also try to ease his fears by placing him in a cave or under a overhang where he doesn't feel as exposed to the world. He could just be extremely skittish (I have some of those in my tank). Once spooked it takes them FOREVER to come out of their shells. You can also place some meat near them so that they can easily eat without having to travel into the big unknown to hunt for food. Again, would help him with the transition.
