    I noticed the other day my porcelain crab wondering a little too close to my pistol's den and this morning the porcelain crab is missing its claw and its body is ripped open!

    I am really glad you found it! I hate to say this but to be honest with you having the two of them in the same tank... well eventually its pretty much a given that the Porcelain is going to get zapped. Keeping any kind of crab even another Pistol in with a Pistol is just asking for trouble.
