Are there really any bad crabs? Or are they just misunderstood? I found some ugly crab while moving my rock, but felt bad for him getting yanked from his home so I put him back in the tank.

I have a Zebra Moray that thinks all crabs are good

okay, so diatoms. and they'll go away. Good
and I have about 3, a brownish one which is about an inch and a half, a very small one that looks somewhat hairy, and a lumpy green one. also, while im mentioning everything, I'll say something about the orange and white worm that burrows itself in my sand. Are they the bad kind? or just misunderstood?

the worm is probably a bristle worm some people hate them but there reef safe and excelent sand and rock cleaners .I have hundreds in my tanks and dont have any problems .If you can get over the creepyness factor they make great clean up crew.
