Coral Beauty and Compatibility

Hi,
I have a newly set up 55 gallon tank with the following fish:
2- Percula Clowns
2- Green Chromis Damselfish
2- Striped Cleaner Wrasse (looks like these, could be a type of blenny)
1- Firefish
1- Yellow Sailfin Damselfish
I was considering adding a Coral Beauty Angelfish to this group.
I was also considering adding a Cleaner Shrimp and a Brittle Starfish.
I believe that the Coral Beauty is OK with the fish above.
I'm not sure if it is OK with the Shrimp and Starfish.
I'd like to know if anyone has any comments on this.
Thanks for your help,
Ray

I have had a Coral Beauty and a Flame in the same tank for 2 years with no issues at all. I am getting ready to introduce an Medium Emporer as soon as he is out of Hypo.

You might wanna slow down a bit. How long has the tank actually been set up?
9 Fish is going to be alot of bioload.

Thanks for everyone's responses.
I've had this tank set up for 2 wks now.
I'm thinking of adding the coral beauty, shrimp and starfish a month or so down the line.
I used substrate from my previous 20 gallon tank so this new tank hasn't really done any cycling.

Hold off for awhile. Angels do best in well established tanks. Six months or more is a good time frame, IME. There shouldn't be compatability issues with the other inhabitants but let the tank age awhile and make sure the parameters are consistantly stable and the tank is healthy.
