He should be fine. Here is an excellent web site for hermit crab care:

I would just keep an eye on your crab for a day or two but it sounds like everything is alright if he went back into the shell on his own accord.
I hope he's okay!!

Time will tell. Just keep an eye on him. If you have other hermies, isolate this one for a little while. That way he will be kept safe and have a chance to recover without being messed with.

Well you really dont want him to come out of his shell to much..
If he pinches your couson agian try to put him under cold water, and if he still dosnt let go try warm water.

it should be ok, as long as it didn't suffer any external damage to it's body.
