There looks to be a small crab in the one ball of algae! And in the other is looks to be a small polup of something that's clear! Plzz help me find out what these are and how to remove them before I put them in my tank!

I can't see "clear polup", but it's probably Aiptasia. I wouldn't add that to your system. The crab is not likely going to cause you any headaches in your sump/fuge unless it can get into your plumbing and slow water movement
 
R2G order? I just got some of the same macro in from them and some red grape, no hitchhikers on my end but I agree about the crab should be fine in the sump.

The red macro I go thats the same as your also had little white polyp looking things at the base, I couldnt tell if they were new shoots starting or if it was a hitchhiker/coral attached the the base of the macro, that portion is in my holding tank for now until I can look at it better.
