Crab. Good or bad

Sorry for the quality. Found him a month ago in my Birdsnest. Just been too lazy to do anything about it. Crabs her to freak me out. Please let me know if I should get rid of him. Thanks Rich

Hard to tell with the pic but are the legs hairy? If so it is probably a gorilla crab and is bad. If there is no hair then it might be a acro crab or pocillopora crab which are great, but I'm not thinking that's the case here

I can't see him in the picture to verify, but these are normally a good type of crab.

It is likely one of these.

Google Tetralia cymodoce and Trapezia serenei.

I hope you're right but the picture makes him look more gray and with hairy legs. Usually on these corals it's either the awesome crab you linked or a gorilla which is bad news.
