    Hermits are omnivores so they would eat a dead animal, yes.

    no dude. I'll bet it's a molt. Mine looked just like a live critter, except for the eyes.

    My emerald crab died, so I thought. I even fished it out of the tank, threw it out. 2 days later I see him munching away on a rock. The molts look a lot like the crab.
