Crab ID found in acro

I found a crab in an acro mini colony I got. The other colonies had obvious white masked acropora crabs, but this one looked different so I took it out of the coral and put in the sump.

Hi all,
I found following guy in my acros and I was wondering whether it is harmful for acros or not.

From what all I've read, I wouldn't trust the hairy ones. I think they're called teddy bear crabs if you want to Google them.

I have usually heard the hairy ones called Gorilla Crabs. Of course nowadays, with all the trade names out there, I wouldn't doubt it is called something else also. I have also always considered the hairy ones as pests and not reef safe.

The first one is a porcelain crab. Score!

I could be wrong after looking at it again.
