Leave his exo in with him and leave him alone as much as possible. Feed him lots of protein (meat or eggsor fish/shellfish), calcium (cuttlebone, eggshells, shrimp tails), and chitin (found in the exos of other sea critters or bugs that have exos - mealworms, bloodworms, shrimp shells, the hard parts of crab legs, dried shrimp, etc.). Give him space to recover and he should harden up just fine!
