I would try a Yellow Canary Blenny from Fiji for your snail problem. For crabs you might want to try a coral banded shrimp.

Niger Triggers are fairly reef-safe (for the corals) too, although they get close to a foot long. Pink-Tail Triggers will get over a foot long. Blue-Throats are the best choice for smaller reefs at about 8 or 9".
