First one looks like some sort of decorator crab. Second one is hard to tell from picture but looks like a xanthid crab. What do you have in your tank or plan to have in your tank? All crabs can be bad players if they do not have an adequate food source, as they are opportunistic feeders. If it were me, I would take out the xanthid and watch the other for now.
