It sucks to hear but manual removal really is the best option. I recommend doing it over several sessions. Remove the rock, have some tank water in a spray bottle and get to work with a toothbrush.

I use a flat heat screw driver and very carefully pry it of. I rinse in a bucket of tank water followed by a second wash in fresh saltwater. Very good luck doing it that way

The emerald crabs will consume some of it. The big males are the best at it. They can take a liking to your corals. It can take months sometimes for them to make a huge dent.
You can use a small siphon tube with a sharp metal straw taped to it and pry them off and suck them up.
A stiff brush will work, however this can cause them to spread to other parts of your tank. Sounds like its already all over the place so maybe to start with, use this option with the big male crabs.
Either way it will take time and you will always have some.
