    They might be suffering from a disease, probably fungal in nature, or it is just a normal reaction. I know very little regarding crab husbandry, so you might have to Google for info on this regard.

    I believe is internal infection. They do not usually hide in the water unless there are food for them to feed on...

    Good luck.
