I'm new to reefing and a little overwhelmed by the amount of conflicting information out there.
I wanted a Nassarius Snail when I got my Clownfish to help clean up with any uneaten food. My LFS doesn't carry them but instead offers fighting conchs which they deem superior for that purpose. They noted 1 would be fine for a 14G. When I got home I started researching, and found much conflicting information about what tank size is needed. Some sites say 30G or 50G is the minimum. Others say they are fine for nanos. He's pretty small now (about 1 - 1.5 inches), but I understand it will likely double in size.
Any thoughts about tank size conchs?
As a side note, he is really cool, and I enjoy seeing his eyes pop up from the sand as he moves around the substraight.
