Wow, my conch would never touch the glass!

My conch hates the sand. She's either on the glass or the rocks picking on hair algae.

Great Shot. Conch are pretty comical at some times. I love the way they stretch their eye stalks to check things out. Kinda ET like. Here's a shot of my Queen checking out her nieghbor, the Squamosa.

Cool pic david, arent they funny looking?

 

[kayl]

how big are your guys' queens?

 

[JustDavidP]

Mine is about 3 inches now. It was only 1 inch when I bought it.

Both of them in this tank are around an inch, but in my 65 rose tank I have one that is about 2 inches give or take.

Hey guys, I have 2 queen conches on my 37 gallon and they are about 1 inch. They certainly work hard as everyday I just see them constantly on the glass or on the dsb cleaning it up

I have heard that queen conches can get BIG like over 5+ inches. Anyone heard of that?

 

[kayl]

they can hit 12+

I love them I have a 6" one in my 55 obviously can't go on the glass anymore though=)
the little 2-3" one in my 46bow though is constantly on the glass. Mine hops around like a frog sometimes also it's hilarious to watch..
