my BN fry cleans my snail. At first he tended to get to close the the fleshy part of the snail and the snail snapped but now the snail seems more relaxed about it. he even lets the BN clean the trap door while hes moving

the BN wont hurt the snail will he?

Nope, your BN is just cleaning algae and infusoria from the snail. The only thing that might happen is it may hinder new shell growth, so keep an eye on your snail over the next few months and see if you notice a change in color or appearance around the lip of the snail shell

Hoping that there must be a word for everything I mean...

No the BN's wouldn't hurt your Snail & they're just eating the Algae off him.
