it looks like a common acro crab to me. They are commonly found hitchhiking in/on acro colonies. Personally I think they are beneficial as they help clean acros by removing debris that might get trapped in acros. At least that's what my acro crabs do. If you don't want him I'm sure there are local hobbyists that will take him. I know I would!
