Could be a stone crab hard to tell. You need to get that out of there now to save yourself some heart ache down the road. They are predators and will eat anything they can catch. It may be a cute little guy right now but it will get BIG!

now that u mentioned it the second crab kinda looks like a stone crab but the claws are a bit small.

still trying to figure out what the first one is, they are a ***** to catch, i dont really have any fish in the tank yet just got it started with 2 chromis. is there any fish i should put in that will hunt them?
