Puffers and triggers getting along with sharks

There are a lot of videos in which people keep puffers and triggers with sharks with no problems.But a lot of sites say that puffers and triggers would nip at the shark until it dies.So I was wondering if sharks can live with puffers and triggers or not.If so,how do they do it without them bothering the shark.

No problems as in you didn't witness any during the videos you saw? What type of sharks are you talking about?

No the person actually said the puffers and triggers never bothered the shark and I'm talking about saltwater sharks.

Any particular type of saltwater shark? There are lots of them. But the only ones common in the hobby that I'm aware of are like the smaller bamboo cat sharks which still need a fair amount of room to grow and swim.
I'd be leary of taking any advice from a random video as gospel. Just because they haven't killed eachother yet doesn't mean it won't likely happen in the future. Sometimes livestock seem to do great together at first and then you come home one day to find world war 3 has broken out in your system without warning. Generally when you hear enough experienced people telling you the same thing it's typically for a good reason.
