If you're just gonna kill the rock, why not do a freshwater dip/bath?
IME, crabs and almost all inverts come out of the rock pretty quick when placed in some cold fresh water...
This way, you dont wind up with all the dead stuff inside the rock, all dried up.
After you kill the rock, one way or the other, when you put it back into your display depends on how much established LR is already in there and what inhabitants you have so far.
