Does anyone have any experience with these?

I want to add one to my nano and this sounds like a perfect candidate?

Is it small crab and small shrimp safe?

I had one and although it hid 99% of the time it was a cool fish. Research says they may eat sexy shrimp but mine didn't. They were in my big tank though and the shrimp were in 1st so that may have made a difference.

I had one, it ate several sexy shrimp in minutes. Larger shrimp or other crustaceans shouldn't be an issue.

I had one, liked him alot, but he hid all the time. Added it to the list of animals (Lysmatta debelius, Enoplometopus sp) not to bother getting because it'll rarely be seen.
