Actually, Encer Crystals have no health tag, any hit, no matter if it damages or not, just destroys it.
Pretty sure that's intended behaviour, but I'm leaving it open.
Pretty sure this is a feature since early of Minecraft. Please check this out, there is no health tag at all.

Also from the wiki:
When attacked, even by attacks that normally do zero damage, or otherwise damaged in any way, they will explode.
Confirmed for 1.13.1.
But im pretty sure this is intended, please assign this to a mojang developer (to know).
The Minecraft Wiki only describes the actual behavior of a feature, not necessarily what's intended. Just because something is written on the Minecraft Wiki does not mean that it is meant to be that way in the game.
Snowballs also damage Ender Dragon. So, it might be WAY.
