Not sure about this species but usually the male centipede will lay sperm in the dirt for the female to find and she will fertilize herself with it, If this species does that I suggest moving the male once he lays his sperm.

They are related to millipedes, whom exhibit grooming behaviors. Hard to say though, centipedes only seem social with their babies
