    Hitchhiker on Fighting Conch

    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.

    Can I get a conch for my anemone tank?

    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?

    What's your Favorite Snail?

    Bird Wrasse and Conch?

    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!
