puffer and cleanup crew wont work.... but as long as they stay small your fine. If all are full grown in a 55 its gonna get real crowded.

I had a small toby puffer, but it still killed inverts. They just need to knock em over and peck at em with their beaks, and that snail is DONE! Had to get rid of the cool little guy too. I would love another volitan...

It may be extremely premature to say your puffer is "best friends" with your snails...based on your experience in the hobby you've not been keeping puffers and snails long enough to know...based on info I've seen...and info provided to you on these forums...in time your puffer will likely munch what you consider to be his friends.It is their nature. Please consider for just a moment some of the comments and advice provided by hobbyists much more expierenced than yourself.
Sorry if this sounds rude...but I've seen several recent posts from you that seem more playful than serious.:thinking:

all i will say is be careful of that puffer, if opportunity arrises he will go for that snail when he is hungry.
