Hello. I have a 75 fish only with live rock tank. Currently has a pair of clowns and coral beauty. I’m adding a valentini puffer this friday. Would i be able to add any larger snail species to clean algae and not have them gone overnight?
Thanks!

I have heard mixed results with that. Valentini are the least likely of the puffers to cause a problem. That said, if they have a taste for snails, it's game over pretty quick.

It's a gamble in my opinion.
