Default gorilla crab

I noticed a gorilla crab in my tank. Should I take him out?

Yeah I heard they are bad. I'm still new too so I've never encountered one or seen one but I've read somewhere that they should be removed.

Are you sure it's a gorilla? Emerald crabs can be hairy. I had one that turned unbelievably hairy but was never a problem. Stayed hidden & only came out to eat when I fed them.
