A couple of things that came on rock from KP Aquatics. Thanks for the help.

Unknown Crab

Just plain old unknown. The white/Tan shiny thing. Maybe a sponge?

I would get rid of the crab. Pointy claws in most cases means bad news. I couldn't tell you what type of crab though. If you have a refugium, maybe house him there. The second photo I assume you are talking about the grayish thing at the right? It looks like a sea hare to me. They are great for algae control, but will quickly take care of the algae and then run out of food and die. They are best if rotated through a local saltwater community's tanks to help keep algae under control for those struggling with it. Of course the real trick is to figure out what's causing the algae in the first place.
 
Yes to sponges in the second pic..

Not sure on the crab..maybe a Xanthidae family member..
I would sump it..

Thanks. The crab is in my refugium. He will enjoy a nice life there as it is pretty large. I also found a pencil urchin that I also put in the refugium.
