crabs aren't very good at cleaning rock. they are predators for the most part, and will eat whatever they find. snails are a bit better at algae control than crabs. if you keep the water a bit cleaner, the algae will grow alot slower, or not at all.
hoow about an algae blenny? they are pretty busy little guys. one of those might help.

Yes, it's coral safe. When they mature they will eat small fish if they can catch them. (and they're very fast)
They can be trained to be cleaners for large fish and will happily hop on your hand for a treat.
