…the contents of the pipe being cut is a large volume of low pressure… The ocean at depth is a large volume of high pressure… The differential is high enough to suck a crab through a small space, making minced meat of it.
There’s stories out there of it happening to divers… Mostly to do with low pressure gas pipes being fixed or repaired.
What’s going on? It looks like a curious crab that runs off
Localized pressure differential… Also known as Delta-P…

The morbidly curious can find plenty on YouTube.
Oh… He’s being sucked in, not running away 🥺
Yeah, sad isn’t it…
Mind you there’s also the idea that species in the ocean often end up evolving into crabs… So more crabs to come. They’re somewhat inevitable.
