My dad has a brown banded bamboo shark and some type of horn shark. They are about 2 feet the horn shark a little smaller. Someone he knows has been getting a few to many marbled crayfish. Can he feed them to the sharks? He also has 2 moray eels and 6 lookdown fish.

nothing wrong with feeding them some shellfish. After we did feed krill and prawns to the freshwater fishes all times lol
Feed away!!!
If you're worried about the exoskeletons, you can force the crays to molt within 24 hours by giving them a 20 minute bath in epsom salts. The amount varies from a few ounces to nearly a pound of epsom salt per gallon of water depending on species. Start with 3 oz/gal H2O and adjust for this species.

I wasn't worried about it until now. Is it something I should worry about? I just figured the shark will break them open if the shell was an issue.
Well the horned sharks and bamboo sharks do feeding on the shellfish out in the wild and have specialized mouths for crushing the shells, so I wouldn't be worried about the shell being an issue.
That's what I figured.
I go to my parents house on Friday so I will try and get a video then if my dad gets the crayfish. If not I will get a video of there normal frozen feeding.
Snowflakes. Here is a video of one when it was in my tank. Once my dad retired he had a huge tank build so I ended up moving him there. This is the day I moved him, I wanted a idea of his size before he moved. He bugs out a little because I made him come out of his cave for the shrimp, I normal just put it in front of him.
