Re: bugs in my tank.
The vast majority of bugs in the tank won't hurt the crabs at all. Have you had a look at the care sheets about bugs and mites? That might help you identify what you have. Or can you post a photo?

Re: bugs in my tank.
They sound like they're a species of soil mite or a springtail. Both have species that can be pretty reddish/orange and are semi translucent. Both are harmless!
