May I ask why to remove the crab? I had hydroids briefly in the beginning and within a month or two they seemed to clear up. Are they capable of parasitizing on crabs and slowly killing them?

Thanks for the knowledge !

Many types of hydroids, colonial hydroids can spread rapidly throughout the tank.
