They eat any/all inverts in your tank, meaning crabs, snails, shrimp, urchins, etc. They don't directly harm your coral, but they will flip over...

"Open brain" is pretty vague. Some corals which fit that generic name do very poorly when attempted to be fragged. Specifically, what coral are you...

Incorporating a filter sock where the drains enter the sump would also fix it.
Blastomussa yes, but they're merletti's; not wellsi's. Too small for the latter.
For Cirrhilabrus, just stick with ones which do not exceed 4" in length, considering it's a 65g. Some people don't feel a 3' tank is sufficient for...
