Depends on the cichlid and the crab. You have an oscar and throw in a crab, then yes - that cichlid will eat the crab more than likely. But if you have a firemouth and a decent sized crab then there is a chance they'll live in perfect harmony. Are you looking at any specific animals to get a better idea of?

As Logan said, it depends on the size of the fish and crab. But I have heard that having a large crab in with cichlids will end up with either the crab dead or the cichlids. Just make sure to have plenty of hiding spaces for when the crab molts
