do these eat cleaner shrimps?

or was my shrimp dead before this ate it...

this is the only addition in my tank...
i found bits and pieces of the cleaner shrimp floating
around... hopefully its a molt only but it has
full colors... so i doubt its just a molt...

Percnon gibbesi(sally lightfoot crab) can grow to about 4 inches and is highly predatory. They will kill shrimp,crabs,anemones,corals and fish.
