Nano Conch (Strombus maculatus)

[nivekid]

Hey there, looking for a small group of nano conchs (Strombus maculatus). Willing to pay well for them. Let me know if you have any or have any leads.

Did you ever find these? It seems like they just disappeared from the hobby!

Nope! Still searching!

I've been a bit obsessed trying to find these. No response from ipsf when I emailed about them.

They appear to go by many names: Strombus maculatus, Strombus grazers, nano conch, dove conch, etc.

Proper name seems to be Canarium Maculatum http://www.stromboidea.de/?n=Species.CanariumMaculatum

If you find any please let me know! I also messaged IPSF a while back and they didn't respond.

Not sure about the strombus species, but i had finally found euplica scripta/varians (also called “dove shell snail”) at https://coralcollectors.com
Looks like the website is updating currently.
Mine breed like crazy and i just traded 20 to lfs last week.

I let the algae grow and use this tank as a snail nursery. Round egg cases an inch to the left of my finger in the last photo.
