For no nitrate, you should get enough chaeto For my 20 long, i use chaeto in a AC110 and I only do water change to replace the trace elements; nitrate is always zero.

Are you sure it's dead? When they molt it looks like the whole front half of them sitting on the sand bed. I've found a few molts that i thought for sure were dead crabs but later discovered the crab alive and well.
