I think it's better to take the male out although I'm no expert.
I just found eggs in my tank as well and the female is very defensive of her nest.
Well, I don't see a reason why the male should be there. I'm even more afraid that my female will kill the male. So, I removed him.
I guess it's up to you, depending on your tank mates. If there's not much activity in the tank and no true predators, then i guess you do not need the male around.
Have fun! Because I'm thrilled!
