I posted on the discussion board but should have posted here sorry. Can anyone tell me anything about this character, I was expecting a fighting conch and ended up with this. Thanks in advance Mike.
 
Hi,

The Florida Horse Conch (Pleuroplaca gigantea) is a carnivore of other mollusks (bivalves and gastropods). It can grow to as large as two feet! Not really sure you want this species in your tank.

Here's a picture from the Jacksonville Shell Club's website that may interest you. http://www.jaxshells.org/517j.htm
If you search on this excellent site, you will find a little more information.

Cheers,
Bob
