Can I put an anemone crab with a Condy?

My sebae is disentigrating quickly today (purchased 4 days ago), all shriveled up, white goo coming out, stringy stuff, yuk. I'm thinking I should pull the anemone out of the tank, but what to do with the crab? Just leave him or hang him in a fish net inside the tank (if that would even work) until the pet store opens on Tuesday and I can see if they'll take the crab back?
OR...I've read anemone crabs will go into my condy? I know, my bad - two different anemones in a 20 gallon - my fault for listening to the LFS).

Does the sebae look like it's melting? If so, pull it out of the tank and smell it. If it smells horrible (you'll know) then it's dead and toss it. Anemone crabs can survive without an anemone host, but they'll also go into condy anemones.
