Steve961 Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 This came in on some rock as a hitchhiker, and has proceeded to grow by leaps and bounds in the last month. It seems to be reef safe as I have only seen it eat algae - which it does a good job of. Is this some type of Conch? If so, does anyone know which one it is? Thanks. Steve Link to comment

gooch Posted November 16, 2003 Share Posted November 16, 2003 If it came off a hitch hiker rock from me it might be one of my tongan fighting conch. Though they prefer life on the sandbed. Does it have two eye balls? I also have some atlantic fighting conch but its not one of those. gooch Link to comment
Crakeur Posted November 17, 2003 Share Posted November 17, 2003 looks like a conch. the highly toxic zoos are something to be more concerned with. I would get some very thick gloves and remove them immediately. It just so happens that I have a tank that has only toxic, dangerous or just downright ugly animals in it. The zoos would make a wonderful addition to that tank. Link to comment
BlackSumbel Posted November 18, 2003 Share Posted November 18, 2003 It looks, to me, to be a Dove Snail. Strombus family (Conch family), depends on the size. May also be a baby Conch. Color looks like a Crown Conch. -Sumbel. Link to comment
