I've not seen the shell since last night in the pics. It wasn't around the scoly this morning, so either it spit the crab out and it lived by retracting WAY back into its shell, or another crab already laid claim to it. The Scolymia didn't have a "bulge" to it today so I assume it didn't swallow it.

LOL, my eyesight kind of sucks so I'm lucky to see a lot of small stuff! It would have been neat to see what happened to the shell, but it was about 11:00 when I found it--would have been up too late even for me I imagine.
