Anthurium dropping roots in terrarium

Hi everyone

I'm new to gardening and I thought I'd start with a terrarium since I live in an apartment. I've got several Aglaonemas, a dwarf Anthurium and several other aroids and couple of creepers in a 30 gallon fish tank terrarium which i set up with fluorescent lamps. And its been about 3 weeks and I think everybody's looking pretty happy in there.

Recently I noticed my Anthurium has started dropping several (i counted 11) pink roots from the stem and they're going for the soil. What i'm worried about is if they're gonna spread all over my terrarium and overwhelm or maybe even hurt other plants. If this is a good (healthy) sign or the Anthurium and/or the terrarium?

Thanks in advance
