Conch ID

[efish]

I got this conch because my sand bed was literally green, at the pet store it was labeled "conch" I first thought it was a fighting because that was the only species I knew but I now think it is a tiger conch any input?

Agree looks like a tiger conch. Still a great addition

Yep, I was thinking either Strawberry or Tiger but it looks they're actually the same. +1 Tiger.

What tank size in min for them? It's in a 13gal ATM probably getting a 30gal soon

It is probably Conomurex luhanus (or formerly Strombus luhanus).

When it comes to common names, you might have a a couple of taxa sharing the same common name. I have bought one online labeled as "strawberry conch" that looked more like a crown conch. In my region, these often go under the name tiger conch.

I would think 30g min for the food/grazing requirements they need. Just my opinion though.

I would vote tiger conch. I have one in my 20g but I feed him nori bi weekly to prevent starvation.
