Did you read this care sheet? Does it help answer your question?

I still don’t know what to do cos theres algae growing on the tank now so i desperately need to clean it, but I’m sure the crabs dead. It’s micro and been down for 3 months and didnt do any of that excessive eating.

Can you copy and paste the emergency template, so that we can get an understanding of your tank conditions?

Algae? There shouldn’t be algae unless the tank is getting direct sunlight.
