Thanks for the info everyone!
Upon further investigation, he's actually dead - so tragedy overted - and no need to kill anything!

They feed them to the Triggers!
Are you sure he is dead, and not a Molt?

It's likely it was a molt, but I really dont know how to tell.

Is it a hollow shell? If so it's a molt.

Amber, you really should not put anything that was in your tank back into the ocean. You have no idea if they are carrying a pathogen or something else that is new to the area that can decimate the local creatures. Plus that crab alone might not be from that area, and could wreck havoc.

I cant tell if it's completely hollow - the legs look "meaty", but I couldnt find eyes.

It came from Tampa bay saltwater right down the shore a bit and has been in quaratine not in my tank.
But I know what you are saying.
