Pose a risk to the zoanthids or to the inverts?  Hold their own during the move, or against the newly moved inverts?

 

When moving the inverts, match the temperature and salinity (and ideally, also the pH).  But I wouldn't try to drip acclimate them.

Does the crab w the zoas or cbs or cleaner shrimp pose Amy risks any risk

The coral banded shrimp is likely to attack small shrimp and fish. The emerald crab is probably fine, but can be aggressive to other crabs.

"Any risk"?  Crabs in general are opportunistic feeders; and emeralds may become even more questionable when larger.  So... it's hard to say no risk at all.  However, in general, both that crab and shrimp are said to be reef safe and are relatively safe.  While I might not buy either of them, I would go ahead and move them into my display, if I already had them.
