Behavior

(ADD HERE)

The fighting conch is often found moving around in the sand with its eyes and mouth above the sand. They seem to be constantly feeding during the daylight hours and do a very good job at keeping the sand stirred up in the tank. The fighting conch appears to leave all corals and other invertebrates alone and work around them when taking care of their turf.

Feeding

Algae and herbaceous detritus.
