Careful digging up too much. Stirring your sand can cause amonia spikes.

If he is shut, then he is more than likely ok. I'd just stick him back in the sand and monitor him to see that he starts digging again.

Like Denise said, if he is shut he's okay. I have some cleaners that have never buried themselves. If he dies he will open up wide, and your cleanup crew will have a feast. Get it out ASAP if it dies.

It will also release other toxins that are harmful for corals & fish
