Most crabs are opportunist when they are big enough, even those that are considered algae eaters, best to remove it when small if you can.

I would point out that the crab in your tank went to bed one night and woke up, scratched , then wandered out and thought "where the hell am i? i'm bloody sure i went to bed in the pacific???" so when you remove it, spare it a thought.;)
 
shame the poor thing, its very shy. wont kill it , wont it die in the sump. found a creature on one of the life rock small white tenticles very thin bout 4 tenticle, every now and then it squirts out a blob of slime, do you know what it can be?
