You don't want him to die but don't want him in the aquarium either? huh? Snails eat algae off the aquarium walls. If it is a new tank & you don't have any algae, you can drop in algae discs.

it came with the 55gal i just bought 2nd hand....dont want a snail problem in my tanks...but dont want him to kick it...just a softy

Chances are good that if you keep the snail you will wind up with a snail problem, so if there is anyone you know who wants the snail it might be good to relocate him. Otherwise if you are feeding fish in the tank the snail will find what he needs.

i sink flakes for my snails, and at least once a week i put in a slice of zucchini...they love it

They will eat any leftover flake, pellets etc.. I also feed mine Hikari Crab Cuisine (calcium helps harden their shells)
