gf will attack snail?

Depends.
For small snails, gf won't attack them, they just eat them and they are expert in that too. You can sometimes see them spitting out almost a whole shell without the snails in them!
I won't recommend large snails though as their slime inevitably contaminate the water. They can co-exist in streams or in large ponds but definitely not recommendable in tanks.
