I am a big fan of crabs others are not but there are a few choices out there but be mindful that even though most species are considered reef safe they are omnivorous and if not well fed can potentially start munching other things as well
Some crabs that are popular choices
-Standard blue legged and red legged hermits these are the standard cleanup crew
-large blue legged hermits get up to about 2" in size
-Halloween hermit crabs colourful colouring
-pompom crabs and porcelin crabs harmless decortitive
-emerald or green crab known to eat bubble algae but has been known to eat coral and slower moving inverts
-arrow crab primary food source is bristle worms but has been known to attack slow moving or sleeping fish and shrimp
It's only a small list of a much larger crab community but are generally the more popular crab species to keep
