Toxic crab death = nuke?

I have a large one of these:
http://www.flmnh.ufl.edu/reefs/guami...es/Image2.html

http://rmbr.nus.edu.sg/rbz/biblio/s16/s16rbz169-175.pdf
Page 3/7, it's 50/50 version of A and C.

I've 180'd on my opinion that these crabs are fun. They're fun to watch, but he's really been p*ssing me off recently.

I think i read that this crab wasn't toxic when it died in a tank, but was toxic when consumed (by whatever). I'm pretty sure i read this, but it was like 1 stumbled apon sentence during a few hrs of looking up...

Does anyone know if it'd nuke my tank if it died in there? I'll ask in inverts section too.

Cheerz

Yeah baby! What a relief. Don't have to worry about toxins in the tank. Crab caught alive and intact. Pics:
