Well, considering this site says their not reef safe, he might eat the shrimp. I'm not to sure about this, so it'll probobly be better to wait for another response.

it'll be fine. almost all angels aren't considered reef safe but that's because they eat polyps zoos sponges and some soft corals. i got an angel that is less reef safe than the cream and i have 4 cleaner shrimp, 1 blood shrimp, 1 peppermint shrimp, 1 coral banded shrimp and a camel shrimp without problems.

I hear that the most important thing is to make sure the shrimp makes it to the liverock safely when you first put him in. That is when they get gobbled the most.
