Conch info

[Kapachuka3]

I got a lot of algae in my 32.5 FluvalSmart saltwater tank, I have 3 margarita snails, 2 nassarius snails as the cuc.
I would like to get a better cuc, would Trocus snails and maybe a conch snail do well and what info on conch would I need to know about?

Is it on your live rock? I bought a blue tuxedo urchin and could not be happier with it.

Tuxedo Urchin

Tuxedo Urchin (Mespilia sp.) The blue and and red tuxedo urchins (Mespilia globulus and Mespilia cf glubulus respectively) are not only beautiful and easy to care for, but they also serve a key ecological role in their environment by consuming (especially) filamentous algae. Totally reef-safe!

I might get another one of those too but it’s on my sand also, and I think having a clean sand bed would look pretty sweet.

I'd just manually remove it if its in the sand, a conch would mow through that as well.

Is it normal for a conch to be on the glass?

Not usually to my knowledge, bought a Strawberry Conch last week, my sand bed is much brighter in 2 days, and that is with a Sea Cucumber as well in the tank. I'm now hoping one or both of them won't starve....
