Technically I believe both fish are water column feeders so the risk should be low, however I would never say it will be a sure bet. Is it a large tank with live rock? You can give it a try...if it fails, your triggers will enjoy the meal and it will not be a huge loss overall. What is the specific gravity of your tank? Do you have corals in there?
You could probably also try introducing some ghost shrimp to see if they go nuts over them or mostly ignore them. That might be an indication. But overall emerald crabs can lay pretty low.
