Can you tell me what these are/

The Crab appeared out of shell that was on a piece of live rock that was already in the tank a month or longer. I happen to notice it run out of the shell no bigger than my little fingernail. It's now been about 3 months and the sucker is almost 3 inches wide. pretty crappy picture, but the color is on. And the tips of his VERY large claws are Black.

The other "THING" is a total mystery. He just showed up one day from another tank I purchased a couple of months ago to supplement mine. It is fascinating though. The fluorescent green...Antlers/tentacle's curl in to it's Mouth?? in clock wise order.

Guess I could only add one picture per post. Here's the one of the crab.

The top picture looks like a nudibranch. Crabs are hard to identify. A picture from the top might give a general idea.

The top picture is a cucumber. That species is a filter feeder. The crab is a xanthid. Very destructive so you'll want to toss it in the sump.
