They are not eating it they are doing something to make it stick to their body. It will put stuff all over its self.
Look at it this way, when it molts is shell you can get them back and the crab has made a frag for you. I have one that likes Zoos. Each time he molts his shell i pick them off with a pair of tweesers and super glue them to a piece of LR rubble. Now i have them back and have a new frag. Happens about every mont or so. The first time i thought it was dead. It will hide for a while after it molts is shell. I need time for the new shell to harden.
