What makes a good cleaning crew for a 90gal FOWLR with a puffer, tang and gobie? I will soon be getting a lionfish as well.

Try stuff out and see how it goes. Snails don't move too well in 50+ nitrate tanks btw...I'd do crabs, all kinds.

My 'ates and 'ites are all good, I'm actually asking what is good as far as not being food for my puffer. I am down to one snail now. Will he eat starfish? Crabs? Blenni's?

Perhaps an urchin of some sort?

Yes. I have the same problem in my new FOWLR: Tusk, Humu and Masked Dogface eat anything that crawls or slithers. They ate all my hermits first, then all my snails, includding one biscuit sized Turbo. The only thing left is one Ember Blenny, and the puffer has been watching him, licking his lips. I was thinking about one of those BIG Florida Fighting conchs, but this motley crew of mine would probably just make him into fritters.
