Are crabs really this dumb?

In the last 3 weeks I have had two (2) emerald crabs (one red, one green) die because of their own stupidity. I noticed that the crabs would spend a lot of time using the edge of my anemone as shelter and would actually live under the tenticles without being hurt (probably the hard shell). But about 2 weeks ago the red emerald crab molted and was immediately stung to death by the anemone (while it was still soft-shelled). I was bummed because I really liked that crab and assumed it was just dumb-luck that it died. Well, two days ago the green emerald crab did the exact same thing...
Is this going to keep happening if I buy new emeralds? Has anyone else had this problem?
