So in my 90 gallon reef I have:

1 black Brittle starfish (one of the few easy to keep species, it is nocturnal though so I rarely see it)
2 Fighting conch (great for sand bed & detritus)
1 Hector's Goby (small sand sifting fish that doesn't make a big mess like some others)
3 Astraea snails
4 Ring Cowries
2 Emerald crabs

Asterina starfish and Stomatella snails breed freely in the tank too.
No problems with your emerald crabs eating your corals?
