yep both are reef safe, I have 2 blue legged hermies.. the only prob with the urchin is it will walk away with frags, crabs, snails, thermometer.. LOL but shouldn't eat any coral or anything... there are fish that eat them, so be aware of that k?

The crab looks like a pretty standard blue leg. Commonly used as cleaners in reef tanks. Like all crabs and opportunistic feeder, but I wouldn't worry about him at all.
The urchin looks similar to one I had appear out of LR once. He grew really fast and I gave him to the LFS since he was in my 20g and getting pretty but but he never really caused any problems so I wouldn't worry about that one either.
The other stuff, I don't have a clue without a pic.
