Wow what type of conch is that? My tiger conch’s foot is nothing like that and could never climb glass.

I'm obsessed with him! Ive only had him 2 days and bought him from my LFS. From what I've researched, it's a Crown Conch and their main diet is apparently snails, claims, etc. So after buying an assortment of frozen foods, back to the store I go to buy poor little snails

Ime healthy conch can actually climb quite easily wherever they want to go!

I don't have Lurch anymore, but he was certainly one cool dude! Until he torpedoed 2 of my elegances.....

That makes me feel better! Sacrificing snails will be a last resort

Wow he's beautiful! I don't have corals yet, but I hope mine doesn't end up eating them.

In all the years I've been in the hobby, I've never seen a conch climb the glass. Didn't even know it was possible.

My tiger conch is the healthiest conch I've ever hand, and it makes me sad for my others now seeing how maneuverable he is since he's not malnourished. He can climb to the top of my rockwork sheer rock faces 18 inches up and I've cot him cleaning the teeth at the top of my back overflow and halfway up my glass

He didn't eat them, but his spines destroyed the skeletons

Me either. Last night he was all the way at the top of the tank with a small portion of his shell breaking the water.

I posted earlier in this thread there's no way my tiger conch could ever climb the glass,,, then 2 days ago he did it for the first time ever (in the 1.5 years I've had him).

...go figure

Normal. Mine are in a convoy right now

Haha!! Well earlier today my conch and one of my crabs tag teamed one of my snails like it was the Wild West. So I know he’s not hungry but here he is tonight.. climbing all over the glass with his protein energy.

Please don’t judge my bare tank.. it’s a work in progress
