Angry Cirolanids?

We found this little guy in our tank, and caught him with a fish net. Our tank's only 4-5 months old, and we only have 4 scarlet hermits and a cleaner shrimp. We're worried now that when we add a fish, these guys will replicate.

Can anyone confirm? Or do you think he's safe? He was about 3 mm long, quite small.

can it roll up into a ball?

If it can roll itself up it's a beneficial scavenger more then likely and good for the tank

It curled up when we put in the bowl, but didnt go into a complete ball. Man they're fast little things.

Yes please, how DO we get rid of them? Or even know if we have more, for that matter?
