Shells cannot 'decompose' in the biological sense of the word. Only living organisms that have died can be 'decomposed' by 'decomposers'.
Shells are made by living organisms but they are themselves non-living objects. They will physically erode, crumble, and be reduced to fine particles, but will remain chemically the same as they started.
