So i turned around and saw hundreds if not thousands of small white things i though my filter back had split and been torn apart by the fan but no my new cleaner shrimp who i've had for just over a week has given birth ***!, Now i know they'll all die due to my filtration system but do i need to do anything in regards to removing them as all i have in my tank is a clean up crew , 1 Cleaner 3 turbo , white claw hermit and Halloween hermit

Heres some pictures

Not much you can do in that regard. They will eventually die off due to their nutritional needs not being met in their current form, or like you said, become a victim of the filtration system.
 
I have had peppermints reproduce before. Best way to catch any if they are still alive is shut off every single source of water movement at night. Shine a flashlight down from the surface a they should swim towards it. It's then easy to catch them. Beyond that, good luck, mine were much bigger and none survived.
