Hmm,.. Fingers crossed! 
Have you done some waterchanges and cranked up the skimmer to help get some of that P04 remover out?

I've said the exact same thing before.
I brought a Crosea back from IL,.. he looked healthy enough but after 2 weeks still had made no attempt to attach,.. I suspected Byassal gland injury (basically there's no saving them,.. they get infected and die) but wasn't sure.
One day it looked perfectally fine.
Next day it was an empty shell with the guts floating around.
It took out the clam sitting right next to it too  That was really, really sad. He was dead a day or couple days later.

It's funny how often we injure/kill with kindness in this hobby!

If I could tell I wouldn't have bought it 
It could be simply not happy,.. but if the gland is damaged death is usually in about a month.
