Why was this guy removed?

I've heard that it was because the devs said he was "overpowered", but that makes zero sense because that means they couldn't figure out how to make their own creation balanced. It's a shame it got cut, the game really needs more crustacean-type creatures. The Dunes would have been a perfect place for it to lurk.

Oh no. The ghost of Sans got another one.....
And I think it doesn't quite fit into the mood of the world design. Not at that size, it doesn't
That isn't the rock puncher.
Still would have been cool to have him in. Make a new model for him that fits in Subnautica better, make the huge spikes part of his mandibles that it uses to defend itself (and scale them down a little but still have them big) and have large lobster-like claws for its weapons. Have special burrows in the ground for it to lurk in and when anything larger than a Seamoth come in range it emerges and makes a grab for it, but if it grabs you it only does some damage then releases you because you're too small and of no interest.
You cant compare those two to this thing
Except the "Phantom" leviathan actually has a chance at getting in, and the Rock Puncher was considered for removal because of the cutting Terraforming.... While the 'Sandworm' didn't really have a chance to begin with. From what I heard it was just a random asset from the Unity store that was just being put in to test things, with no real intention of being implemented for real.
Also, love the Ceadeus in your signature.
Pretty much this. The other two were fully fleshed out ideas, this one was not.
