Unless if u keep fragile sps coral, u don't need to worry about small crabs. This don't seem would attack fishes. Thus can let it be the cleaning crews.

Looks like a species of rock-dwelling crab. If their pincers are large they’re probably predatory. If they’re are more narrow and lengthy, it’s likely they’re algae-eaters.. but some have been known to eat small polyps as well.
