Cleaner shrimp question

Cleaner-Shrimp

I have one cleaner shrimp, and to my knowledge it has eaten 2 of my blue legged hermits!!! Maybe more. I have counted them and I used to have 10. Right this second it is in the process of eating one right now.

Is this normal? Should I not have crabs with cleaner shrimp?

Editor's note: the poser of this question is mistaken, common cleaner shrimp Lysmata Amboinensis are far too fragile to kill any kind of crab. Personally I would suspect that the poster is seeing discarded post-molt hermit crab carapaces.
