Hey guys, I received this conch a month ago and have started realising there has been growth on the back of its shell. The photos don’t do the colour of the algae justice, it’s definitely green and hair like, should I remove it off the conch? How could I go about doing this without stressing the poor fella out too much, thank you very much.

Pull him out of the tank and give him a good scrub with a toothbrush.
Rinse with tank water and toss back into the tank.

They're not easily upset :)
