I know large ones will eat silversides so there is a possibility depending on how large the star is vs. how small the crab is.

Thanks foe the reply. I'm not sure how big the starfish is, but I have had it for more than A year. It was a hitched a ride on some live rock. So I really don't know how big it is. Oxide lose a spotted gobby to it. It stays in the same rock it hitched in. Is it possible the crabs molting.

Not likely. Your starfish isn't fast enough to catch the crab to start with.

Yes, the crab does molt.
