He will clean up any leftovers that may fall. What you have mentioned will work. May want to try some frozen mysis, mine love thats.
IMO, go slow with the fish and qt them for at least 3-4 week before putting them in your main. Go slow and most of all.....have fun!!

Just give the cleaner shrimp about 2 mysid shrimps or so. They will scavenge for their food, make sure not too overfeed too early, especially with a young tank. Inverts are much more sensitive to water parameters and overfeeding your cleaner crew could cause them to die from ammonia/nitrite/ and higher nitrate.
