Default Orchid Dottyback compatibility with shrimp

I'm looking at adding an Orchid dottyback to my 120g reef. I have 2 large cleaner shrimp. Will the dottyback be compatible with them?

I have cleaner shrimp, peppermint shrimp and hermit crabs with my orchid dottybacks and the peppermint shrimp were tiny when I first put them in the tank

The Ora Orchid Dottyback that I have also won't harm worms such as feather dusters or bristleworms in my tank. I bought one 7 months ago hoping that it would take care of my bristleworm problem but it won't touch any worms (I've since bought a Strawberry Dottyback to eat the worms in my tank and already my feather dusters no longer come out.)

Thanks, it sounds like the orchid dottyback will be OK.
