Ok, couple of things. Stop dipping it. Once is enough, if its not off by then, you should wait a week before doing it again.
Next, Emeralds will eat corals if they aren't getting enough food. They are scavengers and will pick at anything if they get hungry. Possibility they were getting picked on, and closed up. Or you have a pest in the crab that you have in there, and he's picking at them. One or the other is what my guess is.
