Cirolanid Isopod?

So I found this little guy in my tank tonight. I have had this tank set up for one week. I already have found brittle stars, black sea urchins, coral cups, tube coral, sponges, spaghetti worms, and aiptasia. Now I see this little white thing go scurrying across the sand. I got pictures of him right before he went and hid. After doing my research online, I believe he was a Cirolanid Isopod. I removed the lid in anticipation of him coming back out. As soon as I seen him again, I scooped him out with a net and flushed him. Am I right on this one? He sure fits the pictures I've seen to a T. How likely is it that there is more in the tank? I only bought 8 1/2 pounds of live rock, and the tank is only 5 gallons.

Did you cure the LR? You should always cure live rock if it's not from a previous healthy tank or if it's not already cured.
