Safe. free CUC.
They will control their population based on how much you feed.
If they start to get out of hand you can use some sort of worm trap.

I have them in my wifes bio cube and they are a nice replacement to crabs for me in that tank. I only remove them when they get really big! Last and only one I took out was stretching 10in in the tank.
