Porcelain Crab eaten by Camelback Shrimp

[jt42]

I just saw it happen. They where fight, and the next thing I know the Shrimp remove the crab's shell and was eating the inners. I thought Camelback Shrimp are peaceful.
"The Camelback Shrimp is a kaleidoscope of red and white. It has a hump on its back which lends to its name. They have large green eyes and a hinged beak. The Camelback is a peaceful shrimp that likes to be kept in groups. The males usually have long claws that distinguish them from the females. These shrimp like to gather under rockwork and hang upside down during the day. They should be supplied with ample rockwork in which to hide. They have been reported to pick at some polyps"
Camelback Shrimp shouldnt eat my White Anemone Crab should it? I mean the Porcelain crab had a soft shell, the Amemone Crab has a hard shell right??

are you sure the porcelain crab wasnt dieing cause i have some also and i think they are pretty tough they would fight off my sallylight foot who was way bigger and faster so i would imagine they could handle a camelback shrimp also white anemone crabs and porcelain crabs are pretty much the same except for color and they both have hard shells

Well, I just added the porcelain crab and white anemone crab today. The porcelain Crab was less than one inch, and the white anemone crab is about 2 to 3 inches.
