I know, I know, heavy blues but I saw this baby nassarius snail on the glass last night, barely a quarter of an inch long. A micro mini of the adults. How the tiniest of things in our tanks can bring us joy.

I wonder how hard it'd be to keep a 6" queen conch fed?
I have no experience but I would imagine if you have a large enough sandbed it would support the conch.

I would think you need a lot of algae wafers and nori sheets. but it would be kind of cool to have an enormous one. this week I may move some rocks around to see if I still have brittle stars. haven't seen them in a while and think I feed well enough they've gotten lazy and don't need to come out and scavenge. need to figure out what else to put in here. Though I should transfer the kids in the 32 to the 112 really.

Yes, when the tank looks to clean I toss algae wafers in for my tiger conch and when the rocks look to clean I rubber band nori sheet to the rock for my urchin. It can be done.

I have a tiger in the 112 and the mantis ate my spider. I have 3 fighting conchs in the 32 for a long time and do well but stay at ~1" size. they are on my list of things to transfer over.

tank is only 36" square, 2" bed. just wondering if I could actually feed something like that.
As long as there is a lot of exposed sand I think you could. As they get up to 12”, rehome it years later.
