I got a Bali acro too earlier this year and it also had a brown fuzzy crab as a hitchiker. I removed it and tossed it into my refugium. I later determined that it was a xanthid crab, so I did the right thing. They are an undesireable type to have in your tank. I don't recall its eye colour (can't find it now to check), but the identifying characteristic were the black tips on its claws. I also have one of the acro crabs living in that coral, he stays since he is not harmful.
