Strombus alatus, great Hair Algae eater

[AlbinoTang]

I am posting about this great conch to care about hair algae. I bought 10 of this conch for my 200 gal hair algae issue. They are between 1 inch and 2 inches and after 2 weeks my tank is almost clean, these conch are now on top of my cleaning crew list. They consume hair algae, film algae and cyano very fast, much faster than any other snail, hermit, crab...

Post your experience with them

thanks for using common names so the laymen know what ones people are talking about.i didn't know when I joined r2r I would need latin so much.

I avoid using the common name Fighting conch , because there are a lot of different ones , and I wanted to clarify witch one is the one I got.

So the 2 on the right look like they are the same, but the one on the left looks different.
