I think the crab is a common 'swimmer' crab. I see them a lot in the grassy flats we drag nets through. I suspect, but I'm not 100% sure, that they are not reef safe. Probably a carnivore.

Brittle stars can come in a wide variety of colors. I've never seen one like the one you have. But then I have one that has a central disk that looks like a blue jewel!
