Crabs in general are bad news in a reef but are great scavengers in a refugium. Definitely get him out of your tank.

If crabs are hairy, they are not good..

take him out of the tank and stick him in the refugium if you have one...might eat a lot of detritus, but might also eat some corals or fish if it gets big enough.
