Large crab in tank with others

I have a large tank with small and medium ones. I do have one large one that seems to be hanging off the shells of certain medium ones. I have put him into a tank by himself but really would like to put him back with the others. I would appreciate help in doing this process since I have never had this problem with crabs in the past. I brought some home from vacation and they all were fine for a month and then this started. They are in a 75 gallon tank

Did you isolate the new crabs? Is this big guy a new one?

Mating season could be going on just could be having one girl in the bunch? Try giving EVERYONE in the tank a bath in their own water( wash a crab dump water,get more water for next crab. This makes EVERYONE smell the same.
