Tried this in the sps forum but might be more appropriate here:
I got a new mini colony yesterday and on the colony was a acro crab and deep in it was something dark that I could not make out. This morning I woke-up and in my sump was what looks like a brown 1/2-3/8" citron goby with a stripe through it's eye. It is definatley not yellow like a citron but same shape and now it is just sitting on the bottom of the sump, hopping around. I know i have seen these before but I cannot seem to find a pic at any of the sponsors sites. my question is:
Is this little guy a problem for the colony like citron gobies can be? Should I keep or remove him? If i get rid of him I will give him to a friend that has no acros, does he need acros to survive or will he do fine in a mixed reef? If he is bad I guess i am lucky that he got into my sump so he will be easy to catch (never would have happened if he was in the colony WAY to small).
For size reference he is sitting on the silicon in a 10gal tank.

Thanks in advance!!! The ID is important but the questions regarding possible acro damage and habitat are more important to me.
