Crab grabbing her own shell

So lately I've been seeing one of my crabs grabbing the back of their shell and kind of poking more of their body out more than usual. Like she uses her legs so do a backwards hug on her shell. I think it might have something to do with taking the crap out of their shell but I don't know. Have any of you guys experienced this? I'm quite curious.

Usually crabs do that to make sure they have access to anywhere on the shell(?). Usually after they change shells.

It could be for modifications on the shell or to just clean off any irritants.
