Oh! Maybe Herbie just thought he wanted Baby's shell,and took advantage of Baby being in a weak position?
I always hear about shell battles, but I've never experienced one myself, so I don't really know what influences them... I did have one hermie that always switched between two ugly painted shells (manora and Irish flag,) and a giant white one... but they were always uninhabited by the other crabs.
