conch

I'll start

So I usually run a little bit if phyto before bed and this time I had quite the surprise! My emerald crabs appeared to have spawned a new generation of bubble destroyers. I was so surprised I couldn’t really “set up” a nice recording session- but I still managed to get a couple of places they...

Hi All, I am thinking of adding a sea cucumber, the Holothuria Hilla kind, to my 50g tank. Tank is half a year old and when I first ordered the CUC kit, I didn't want to include a cucumber that according to internet is wrongly considered as a nuke bomb. I read that they are very efficient in...

Hi I'm looking to sell my livestock in my tank Please DM to make offers. Everything is available I'm trying to sell my house so everything is available. I will Mark Thinks as sold as they sell.

I have a strawberry conch (conomurex luhuanus) for about 3 months now. At first, when i introduced it in the new tank it was slowly hopping it's way around the tank all day, eating algae. Now it spends most of the time buried in the sandbed moving places maybe once a day or so. Occasionally i...

I made a rookie mistake and setup my aquascape on top of the sand bed. It's nestled down slightly, but sits on top of the sand bed. The tanks been up and running for 6 months removing the rock work doesn't sound like a good idea. I've got some Cyano growing in the sand bed and I was looking at...

Received a Fighting Conch from an online delivery today. I noticed what looks like a snail of some sort stuck to it. Any ideas? Can or should this be removed? Seems healthy and has been out and eating since it hit the sand. Thank you for any advice.

I recently bought two trochus snails two days ago, while the other one is doing fine this other one keeps falling on his back, since Saturday I have righted him 15+ times, he can't seem to right himself. I put him on the rocks and he falls off, I put him on the sand bed and I come back and he is...

Anyone know where to buy nano conchs (strombus maculatus) I don’t see it on ipsf any more Thanks !

Tank is 4 month old, YWG and Clownfish, black foot trochus snail and 3 hermits. About a month ago I bought 2 turbos, 2 nassarius and a nano conch. Drip acclimated how I always do, 1/1.5 hours emptying half of the water out each 30 mins. As soon as I add them to the tank, the conch is flipping...

Hi all, Looking to add a fighting conch or two to the CUC in my 16 gallon biocube! Willing to pay for shipping if the price is and/or local meet up in the Westchester, NY /Southern CT area. Please let me know if anyone has any available Thanks in advance!

Im having a really bad hair algae bloom in my anemone tank and wanted to know if I could get a conch to help deal with it. I've had issues with my carpet anemone eating conchs in my other tank but this tank only has flower anemones. Would it be okay?

Hi there, Looking for a little advice on critters on behalf of my son as we’re not having much luck on that front. He’s 13 and has had his tank (fluval 60l spec marine) running for a year. It has the standard kit plus an added wave/flow maker and an ocean free hydra nano filter) Background...

Hey guys! Well my 310gal has been up and running now since the Saturday of Labor Day weekend. I’ve had lights on it now for a couple of weeks. Just put my permanent light setup(coral cares) on it last weekend and have them on a 10 hour light schedule at only 20% intensity right now. I used...

Hi All! I've got a fighting conch that I purchased from WWC about 6 months ago. I am giving it away for free, you only have to pay for shipping. If you are interested shoot me a DM. The conch is about 3 inches long. The reason I am giving it away is it is a bit too big for my 50 gallon tank...

I purchased 2 strawberry conch. For a week after purchase they were SUPER active and exploratory. One still is 2 weeks later but for the last 3 days the other one hasn't moved. Is it stuck? When you see the picture you'll understand why I'm concerned about it being stuck.

Just picked up a Tiger conch for our second tank that I’ve recently started up. It seems happy and been doing it’s thing. I’m wondering if I can borrow it for my second tank which is about a year old to cleanup the sandbed for a few days and then place him back in its original tank. Just want...

Just picked this up from shop, any info would be good as I can’t really find any….. will they do the same as orange lipped conch? Thanks in advance…

Hi when the best time to add a conch… I have a 250 litre tank, only 4 months old….. Currently going through diatoms and cyano stage…… Heard these guys are good for them….. Currently increased the flow by 80%ish in tank…. Also working on balancing nitrates and phosphate….. Is it a good time to...

Hi new to reefing tanks been running about 4 months now… Currently have diatoms and little bit of cyano….. when’s a good time to add a conch as I’ve heard their good for this kind of stuff but wanting to make sure they have enough food to feed off without supplementing….. Currently working on...

I really like my fighting conch and strawberry conch. I put together a Conch Clean Up Crew Video. There is also a Sea urchin cameo.

My all time favorite is always Conch, Conch, and Conch. Such a fun, interesting little creature. Those long eyes that react to your action. A powerful leg that moves fast. A cute elephant nose that goes didadidadoo. A heavy body that can't climb glass. A long lived peaceful creature...

Hello, I am new to saltwater tanks, have had mine for about a year. I noticed today that my conch's shell looks like the top layer is peeling off. Is this normal?

Probably a stupid question, but do any of you have experience with keeping a Bird Wrasse and really any conch together? I really need something to clean my sand, and snails haven’t worked and haven’t had my tank up long enough for stars. Let me know, thanks!
