Hitchhiker crab id please

Bought some corals yesterday, and i found a tiny crab inside the plastic bag. Not sure what crab it is, but i put it in a 4" pipe cap filled with saltwater. What kind of crab is it and is it a pest? Or is it safe to put it in the display tank? Thanks!

Does it move? It looks like a molt

Kinda looks like a baby version of this gorilla crab, which if it is, bad!

Yes, it moves, it tried to run from me when i was trying to cath it.
