The Fighting Conch will eat brown algae. Typically hailed as wonder cleaners, these snails have also been known to attack other snails as well. If you see a few of your other snails dying off after you introduce this guy, you may want to pick one kind or the other. But otherwise a great addition to any reef tank |

The Fighting Conch (Strombus alatus) belongs to the family named Strombidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 1.0 inches in length, the Fighting Conch is passive in nature and hardy in stamina. It's more active during the daytime and less at night, and will hang out or do best in the substrate. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is unlikely and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Tank parameters should be maintained with ph level between 8.1 - 8.4, temperature between 77 - 79 degrees fahrenheit, and a salinity between 1.020 - 1.023. Some of the environmental concerns that you should strive to replicate in your home aquaria to promote succesful acclimation include a well established aquarium, extra substrate area, a deep substrate, porous live rock, and rockwork structure.
