Cleaner Shrimp & Swallowtail Angel!

In-A-Gadda-Divita!
Just introduced a 3" swallowtail angel after 15 days in QT; within minutes my two cleaner shrimp jump on her (one at a time) and start cleaning her. She seems to love it and opens her gills for them to do their cleaning. After exploring the tank for a while, she is back over with the cleaners allowing them to JUMP on her and clean??
I think this is soo cool but is it normal and safe for the angel?
Sorry if the pic comes out way big...can anyone recommend a good and simple app for my Macbook?
Thanks!

perfectly normal...cleaner shrimp clean...the angel will love the attention and seek out the shrimp...
 
Yes, it is normal. Research has shown that fish that like being cleaned enjoy being touched. (a little known but interesting fact which has no use)
