Those larvae, if they stay in the water column, are doomed
No harm ... your fish will appreciate them
And if any of them make it into your live rock and manage to grow, then you may see something down the road

I have a pair of fire shrimp, a pair of cleaner shrimp and 4 Pom Pom crabs that all breed on a monthly basis and for the past 4 years. I'm still waiting for that "something down the road". LOL. The larvae do make great coral and fish food tho.

If SW shrimps are anything like FW ones, I know the chances are 'very' slim of him having more due to habitat/food requirements, but, there is a member on here who bought 2 peps and ended up with a bunch .....

Those little shrimp larvaes are very very fragile. They die as soon as they hit any powerhead. They almost need stagnant water to survive and constant feeding with zooplankton. It's nearly impossible to have one survive.

I currently have a mantis shrimp with eggs and it's the same doomed scenario I think, especially that mantis larvaes eat each other.
