That’s a baby centipede! They’re a super insect predator. If you don’t mind them they’ll live in the plant soil eating any other pests/insects. They don’t go after any sort of plant material or roots so you don’t have to worry about that

Ooooh luckyyy lol it does seem creepy but gotta love when a animal chooses your plant for symbiotic relationships it’s so cool. One day I’m gonna set up a bio active setup for that exact reason!
