If it doesn't move for a long time it is probably dead. More information would help.

Are the limbs starting to disintegrate???

usually it will shrink and start falling apart, like peeling and limb's falling off. I had linkia's and fromia's die in my tanks and will never keep any more. They usually all starve too death in our tanks.
