What is my Conch doing!

[Üter]

A couple of questions for you conch owners. What kind do you have? Do you have corals in your sand bed, if so does the conch knock them over?

not at all. a spider might. I have 3 fighting and 1 strawberry. they do not bother anything, Need need to be mindful of crabs. Some hermits will attack them for their shell. Especially Halloween Hermits.

They burry themselves. They can knock coral over.

Tank looks very new. It may need more food. Drop in a couple algae wafers, see if it goes after them.

I will! and yes it is very new around 2-2 1/2 months old.

Now it is on the rock!

Your tank is too clean for a conch. Definitely would get wafers before it starves

Ok thanks I don’t have to much time to go to the lfs but I will be making a trip there next weekend. There are still a few diatoms would it be ok until then? I don’t wanna loose him!

If you can get plain nori (no oil/flavoring) from the grocery store sooner than that he'll probably eat it if you put it next to him secured with a rock (so it doesn't float away).
