Conch snail devours Diatoms!

Not for the faint at heart poor brown, nasty looking diatoms!

They are eating machines and need ample supply of food source

After he cleared out 30 gallon of diatoms I placed him in my 12 gallon which has dinoflagelletes. I hope he is okay, he ate some stuff off the rocks but avoided the dinos, I know they are toxic and have seen other reefer videos post where the tiger conchs ate the dinos and later died, showed the shells in the tank.

I hope this doesn't happen to him. I think I need to return him back to the 30 gallon tank.

MIne is alseep in the gravel, but I will watch him closely to see if he doesn't die from if he ate some of the dinos.
