Uhm... if he's on his back he's likely dead or about to be...

I HAVE seen mine molt right in front of my eyes... if they molt during daylight, it is usually under actinic lighting, and they back out of their skeleton into a spot in the rocks apparently using the discarded skeleton as a decoy for prey while they get to a secure spot while their new shell hardens. Give them a day or two and they should be fine... when they're healthy they respond immediately to food, and when I have my hands in my tank for any period of time they inevitably climb right on me and start picking at dead skin... Good luck!
