Dead Blasto??

This was one of my prettiest blastos. For some unknown reason I lost 3 of my blastos, all the others are doing fine. The first one to go was a frag I got from an internet supplier which I didn't have for long. The next one to go had been in my tank since the spring. It grew from 3 little pin size heads to over 30 heads, and suddenly started to die. This one in the pick I had a few months, and one day just didn't open, and has been like that for several weeks now. I moved further in to shaded area after a couple of weeks. Everything else in the tank with the exception of my pachy is doing fine.
Is this blasto dead or what?

Nope! The mouths are tightly closed. It's been like this a couple of weeks.

I figuere it is dieying, but don't understand what is taking so long. Kinda holding onto hope that it wasn't dead. Dumb ??. When they die don't you just see white skeleton? Is there anything I can do to help it?
Here is pic of it healthy!
