Default crab on dead nudibranch

I found my sea hare nudibranch dead in the tank. I had noticed him getting smaller over the last few days and he wasn't eating much. I noticed a clear crab climbing on his dead carcass. I took both out of the tank. Do I throw this crab out with the nudibranch or leave him in the tank. Did the crab cause the nudibranch death or was it possibly left over red slime that I thought had been adequately treated?

Default Re: crab on dead nudibranch

I would leave the crab in the tank. Crabs will eat almost anything that is dead.
