Fighting Conch (Strombus Alatur)

A very large reef safe snail, fighting conchs are (despite their name) a very peaceful and colorful addition to almost any aquarium. They like to eat most any pest algae and clean deep substrate with ease. If they are housed in large aquariums you can have more than one. Due to these snails having very voracious appetites supplement algae and frozen food may be needed. Like all snails they are very sensitive to copper based medications.
