Yep looks like a basal keiki to me. In nature, there would be no one to pull it off, so I'm sure the plant(s) will be just fine if you decide to leave the keiki on.

If you do decide you just have to remove it, I would wait a pretty long time until the keiki has a lot of roots. The only way to remove it without hurting the parent plant would be to sacrifice some of the keiki's roots which are stuck to the parent, and if the keiki is going to loose roots there better be enough roots left for the plant to survive.
