Awesome thanks I needed something to help with diatoms the guy at lfs called them something else altho I can't remember what he said I know it wasn't fighting conch and just wanted to make sure as when I looked on net that's what came up thanks for clarifying they are super cool
 
Are they part of the same family as fighting co
nche excuse my ignorance I've only just got into salt water after a life of fresh water
The common name they are sold under is "Fighting Tiger Conchs" or some combination of that. Which is kind of a misnomer because they don't really fight. I'm not sure of the specific species but they are of the Strombus genus.
