Hitch Hiker Crab ID

I found this little guy hiding in a new Cactus Coral that I bought today. Can anyone ID it for me?

Does anyone want this crab for their refugium or anything? I don't want to take a chance with this guy in case it is a coral eater. I don't have any place for him in my tank.

For the most part Sam all you can do is watch the little guy. A general rule of thumb is if it is fuzzy get rid of it. But it is a general rule. I have only ever had one symbiotic crab eat at a coral. And even then it was fine in two others but once it moved to a third one it went to town. YOU'RE OUTTA THERE! ;)
