This morning I found my crocea all closed up, and it hasn't opened at all today. I've had it for a couple months and it's never had any problem. It's in a 45G tank under one 20000k 250W MH bulb.
Pictures at.

Any help would be appreciated.

He's about 3" and I fed Kent PhytoPlex about once a week.

All perameters are fine, he's still closed and looks like he's starting to loose some color. I'm not sure what I should do as I'm leaving town for the week end and don't want him to die and kill the tank.

Pull it out and give it the sniff test. You'll know right away if it's dead. Doesn't look good though.
