What is happening!GET BACK ASAP! emily

Answer
Sorry I have to go to the library to answer these as my computer recently broke. If it is hollow he molted, if it is him he is most likly dead. If you look deep down into the shell you might be able to see him but he might be too far down leave every thing alone and don't touch him.
