Looks like an acro crab. Not 100% though. Acro crabs are commensal crabs that will be beneficial to their hosts they pick out detritus and nuisance algea ect.There many shapes and sizes
Scroll through the link to coral commensalism crabs and see if you see him http://www.chucksaddiction.com/hitchcrabs.html

Get rid of him, he will eventually irritate your corals when he hides in them. Dip the corals so he cant spread.

Could it be a Boxer Crab that has dropped his anemones?
