This is why I'm asking these conch's say Aquacultured on them at this website see
http://www.etropicals.com/product/scateg.cfm?siteid=43&pCatId=1206
Also, I though Queen Conch's were illegal... My local LFS said that they were cause I live in florida and called and asked him if he sells them, He said "he wants nothing to do with them"
Thanks for all the help guys, and girls

I do believe aquacultured is defined as anything given a hand by man to grow, reproduce or populate in a aquatic realm. It can be in a tank or even out in the ocean. But man has had something to do with its outcome. It can be fish, Live rock, live sand, snails, crabs, corals, and plants.

So on this website then these Fighting Conch's & Queen Conch's are bread and grown in captivity. So thats why they can sell them, also proably because they have a dealer's license... But for someone to go to the beach, I.E.
I live in florida and these fighting conch's are every where, But I can't go to the beach and get them to keep in my tank because that is illegal, right ???
But I can purchase them on-line and be fine, My LFS said that they were illegal and he wants nothing to do with them so, is he right or wrong, or is that his personal choice to not sell them ???

Queen Conchs are readily available in my area, and throughout New England. I havent heard of them being Illegal anywhere. I can't imagine that they would be a nuissance/invasive species, which is why some states put certain bans on animals
I've heard that queen conchs get too big and demand too much food for most tanks, so I probably wouldn't get one of those for a 55g. Most people seem to like the fighting conchs, though.
