My LFS has tons of these conch. I could go and buy one but how big do they usually get? Can they disturb rock placement?

I would estimate they get to be between 3 and 5 inches but don't move rock or coral. When you do go pick them up make sure you get a fighting conch, other conchs such as the tiger conch will eat other snails and a queen conch would get HUGE. Tiger conchs have a smooth shell while a fighting conch has "spikes" on one end.

A Diamond Goby will move sand sand all day long, at times maybe too much.

+1 these guys will move your sand all day everyday

My tiger sand conchs don't eat other snails.

I stand corrected. I was told this on RC when I asked a while back but have no personal experience with them.

Anything else besides the usual Conch, and diamond goby.

I had something in mind of small, colorful, and peaceful. Common, rare, cheap, or expensive. I want to know

I have both fighting and tiger conchs. I find the tiger to be faster on the surface of the sand bed and the fighting spends more time under the sand bed cleaning it out from in between so I bought another tiger. Two tigers and one fighting conch and my sand bed is like day one again plus no sand storm like the goby constantly digging tunnels and even moving corals lol

Can you keep a diamond goby and a blue spotted jawfish together in a 225?
