Cant say for sure...... but they can be pretty skidish, scare and hide really easy at times, something, maybe you, doing something scared it. It may have been stuck or just playing dead and you thought it was stuck, IDK.
Just try to stay back away from the tank for a while and see if it relaxes and goes back to acting normal.
I have had mine for over 5 years and it still hides sometimes when I approach the tank.

sorry to say people , but she did not make the day. it was sad at our tank. all others are very well. there was no sign of sickness or beatings from others. she was 5.75'' long thanks for help D
