mantis upside down for a month now

Title cover it pretty well. I picked up my first peacock about a month ago and gave him a home in my display fuge. a day or so in, he turned over and is in a "hypnotized" state. Doesn't move much or eat. I have to check to see if he is still alive every few days. Really surprised he has made it this long. I figured he was a gonner and had my LFS order me another. He is doing the same thing now as well.
All parameters check out just fine. It is a SPS dominate tank and everything is doing well. Kinda wondering if anyone has any input.

Man that's a strange problem. Does he lie out in the open or in a burrow? If he's in the burrow it might just be the orientation of the tunnel. My Peacock would occasionally lie upside down at the burrow entrance, but not for very long. Take some pictures maybe?
