kinda interesting, it sounds like it may be a molt, i would keep an eye on that shell and make sure a freshly molted crab doesnt pop out.. i find it impossible that a bubble coral would be able to pull a crab neatly out of its shell and leave it sitting neatly beside while it goes to town on the crab.... but u never know

i checked it today when i woke up and i think i know what happened. the hermit crab probably molted and was looking for a new shell, he then stumbled over the bubble coral's mouth wich proceeded to try to eat him. but thats just a guess. that or the hermit went over the bubble coral's mouth and it fell out of the shell as it was struggling to get free.
