Suggest a puffer

My girlfriend has absolutely fallen in love with every puffer fish that we've walked by in every fish store we've ever gone into. So, now I'm looking for some suggestions on one that might work in my tank.

I have a 90g mixed reef: mostly zoas and LPS, a couple of choice SPS pieces. Other fish are: pair of occelaris clowns, coral beauty, starry blenny, sailfin tang, and a single banggai cardinalfish. I do not currently have shrimp, but I have snails. Future fish I am considering are some kind of anthias and a copperbanded butterflyfish.

Is there a particular puffer species that would leave the corals and snails alone? I think I would be willing to not add shrimp as long as it would otherwise work out.
 
Wayne imagex has a porcupine puffer in his reef tank and I think he has some inverts in the tank

The porcupine puffer is going to get too big for my tank. Plus, the girlfriend prefers the long nose puffers.

Looks like they all eat snails, so I may have to pass on it.
