is there anything i can put with my porcupine puffer, niger trigger, and snowflake eel that wont get eaten? they already ate 5 turbo snails. the tank is a 55 with only about 10 lbs of LR
I would guess that the answer is no.

wrasses will cleanup the bottom? thats cool, but i wonder if the tank is too small. i have no plans on moving them to a bigger tank for at least half a year. the tank is a 55 now and possibly will turn into a 90 if absolutely necessary.

The puffer and the trigger will eat crabs,snails ,sea urchins,and shrimp. You are going to have to eventually get a bigger tank.

im just looking for something to eat the uneaten food that falls to the bottom and stays there. im very aware that i will have to get a bigger tank, i have one im just waiting for some cash to get a 220, that wasnt my question.

If you have that much uneaten food on the gravel try cutting down on the amount of food you are feeding them. There's not many cleaner fish like sand sifting gobies that your trigger or puffer won't try to eat or harrass.
