I hate to disappoint you, but you actually did put it in your tank--as in it came with your live rock. It will be relatively difficult to eradicate altogether unless you kill the entire rock, in which case you have wasted money. Beyond that, there is no need to kill it for a number or reasons--one being that these animals actually act as a small filtration source, since they eat small particles and bacteria from the water.
Why would i be disappointed?
The reason i will remove it is simple: i didn't put it there. If this thing does fine and thrives THEN for some strange reason a crab decides to die in it or whatever the case maybe and it fouls out the water and crashes my tank, i will have wished i removed it. I am not going to take that chance on something i dont need in the tank.
It's a harmless filter feeder. Actually shows you have good water quality.
Yea ive been wondering wut those where, eventhough my tank is over a year old now, they just stared showing up.
And turbo, becareful picking it off, make sure to get everythign off.
Because I was didnt know what it was and thought it some kind of bad growth i had picked it off. I had missed some apparently, because some black stuff startged growing where I had killed it.

Sponges come and go all the time. It's not going to foul your tank. A crab is just as likely to die in some other unseen location, denying any oportunity to remove it. You'll never be able to sanitize your reef, and why try?
