Looks like a hermit crab, but can’t say what type. Was this mariculture acropora?

I personally found hermits would crawl on my SPS which bothered them but don’t know if it really hurt the coral. I removed them and put in the sump as they are god algae cleaners.

No these sps are from the local fisherman... they are fist sized pieces and full of "stuff". I have put them in the display and they look like a hermitty thing and will probably end up some ones lunch
