koran angel and cleaner shrimp

i just bought a 3inch koran angel and a 1 1/2 inch cleaner shrimp and they both seem a little shy. My koran angel is comming out a little and picking at my 75 pounds of lr and "tang heaven" alote but i havnt seen my cleaner shrimp since yesterday(a few hours after he went in). How long does it take the shrimp to come out and can the koran angel keep healthy on only algae and "tang heaven" that is in the tank until he is adjusted enough to come out and eat frozen. And right when i was going to put the shrimp in i thought it might get sucked in my filter/skimmer, i put sponges on but should i even be worried about this?
thanks
Jon

When I bought my Koran, it didn't come out for a couple of days. It also wasn't a big help since my sailfin was beating it up too. Wait a few days and they'll show they're faces. Don't worry if they don't eat right away too.

Hey,
A friend of mine has a Sailfin Tang in a 110gal with lots of lr. He mainly raises corals and that is the ONLY fish in that tank and he NEVER feeds it. No kidding.
The cleaner shrimp should be out and about in a few days. Mine both mainly hang out in a cave but when I feed my fish they both fly around trying to grab bits of food. Pretty funny to watch actually!
