    Give it some time it should open in a day or to. If you want to be sure its alive, take a baseter and blow water into it. If it has died the fleshy part will detach. Mine will stay closed intill I turn on the hallide then it opens, so you might want to try more light.

    I dont know for sure, but I would put it in a low flow area possibly on top of a couple small rocks, maybe it will reattach..
