On the last picture there was one tentacle at first daY, and now there are visible from 3 to 4. So it probably growing or just going to scout the reef :-D

The stripes kind of match the 2nd crabs legs .
but not early long enough .
The 2nd crab doesn’t look as hairy as the first either
The second crab have totaly no hair at all. He is "bald". And when he is eating he have some filtration things at him. I think that it can be porcelaine crab. This is video of him.

Welcome to the reef! The crabs are probably not reef safe but would be fine in a sump. The striped legs are brittle stars. Not sure what the black object is in the second pic. The latest pic is a barnacle.
