   take out the crab and put it in a large cup with the shell in the cup to. leave him/her alone with the shell. this takes away stress. if he does not get into the shell within 1-3 hours try to give him more options of shells. if he does not get into one within half an hour put him in the tank again with ALL shells possible. take out all " toys " that he can fall off of  and keep an eye on him. i am not sure what to do if he still does not get into a shell because mine got into one about 1 hour after molting. i hope i could help
