kinda looks like some type of decorater crab.. but im just guessing
 

More than likely its a harmless acro crab. actually really cool. they protect and clean then the coral. they sometimes come with a acro colony. I would keep it imo. But then again just watch it if you decide to keep it because they are imitation acro crabs that eat the flesh of the coral. Have you seen any damage to the flesh of the coral where the crab hangs out?

Not that I have seen. I have been watching but looks like it just closes the polyps where he is. I'll keep an eye on it. Thanks for the replys
