Please ID this crab. Is it reef safe? Will it eat my corals ..etc?

Also, what is this? Is it reef safe? Looks like some type of slug....but some small tentacles are coming out of one end. Not sure.

1. Black Fingered Mud crab <------- what it looks like to me
This guy is black in real life; this picture is misleading. His pinchers remind me of a Mithrax crab, but it has 'teeth' within the claws. Because he can't be trusted, he's been transferred into my refugium where I hope he'll be happy and trouble-free. Xanthids are Not Reef-safe.

Thanks everyone for all your help.

How can I tell if the sea cucumber is poisonous? I just happened to find him out of nowhere! hah

Tony..I guess I'll put him in my refugium too. Is that your crab or an image from another source? It looks like that but black in color. Thanks again.
