I wouldn't trust any crab with them. They are opertunists so slow moving fish are often on the menu. You should be able to trade it in to a lfs for credit though or trade to another reefer as these crabs are liked as a novelty.
I'll just keep him in a floating hatchery until I can take him back to the story I got the live rock from. It seems I have never been able to keep any of the interesting critters that pop up on the live rock I get :(

Hello! My ears were burning. Maybe do a google image search for a decorator crab, Oregonia gracilis. It's hard to tell these guys a lot of the time, because they basically look like whatever they chose to put on their body.

The crab looks to be a decorator crab. The nudibranch is harder to ID but will likely starve in captivity.

Oh oops, already said. I change my answer to +1.

That nudibranch looks like he's seen better days. I wouldn't worry about it being there for much longer, to be honest.
