Your only solution is to get your hands wet (Do a water change and scrub off them algae build ups). Your puffer and tirgger will snack on them snails.

I have a trigger and snails. In fact I just bought some more the other day and put them in the tank. Instead of just popping them in the tank I set them down low and on the rocks. trigger didn't even see me do it. and they are all still there and accounted for. then again maybe I have a good trigger....:)

yepper. all of them since a little over 1 year ago. the trigger doesn't seem to pay them any attention. So far so good..bow my coral banded shrimp is the real problem I have in that tank. he attacks my other fish. I have to pull him out ASAP.

You are lucky...but I am betting eventually he will pig out. I had some moderate success adding a few small snails at night. My Niger seems to leave them alone...will pick one up every now and then and eat one. Not as bad as when I added them during the day all at once. He cleared that tank of snails like a hurdler. He still eats them with the ight adding .......just not as fast. The snails also stay bruried most of the day.
