I have found some crabs. Can anyone identify and are they reef and fish friendly

hermit crab. not sure which kind. most likely reef safe, may kill other snails for their shells.
 
May pick at coralline algae, not certain about reef safe. They get big though, and can knock over rockwork.

+1 thin stripe hermit, collection locale, markings and shell type checks out too. Mostly a detrivore although when looking for a replacement shell may be dangerous for snails, of the conch and whelks varieties.
