that is completely normal.
snails and crayfish are a natural source of food for puffers in the wild.

if your water is too hard and pH is too high, you can just remove some crushed coral from the tank.
Have 4-5 bags instead of 7.

Coral will only buffer the pH to around 7.4-7.6, which is still within the tolerance range of a good variety of fish. Neons, hatchets, and pencilfish do require soft water, but most barbs, larger tetras, and loaches should be fine. The water will be very hard, so soft-water species aren't as likely to spawn successfully, but any of the livebearers and most cichlids should.
