Strombus gigas

I am thinking of bringing in some Queen Conchs appropriately sized for use in reef tanks with a live sand bed.

These are raised at the aquaculture facility in the Turks Islands.

If we can get 25 folks who want one or more, I will proceed with the importation and permits needed.

One Queen Conch will be $10.00
One pound of food will also be $10.00
Shipping to your door via US Overnight express mail will cost about $30.00....so total for one Queen with food, shipping and box charge to your door will be $58.00

Additional conchs may be added to the order for additional shipping charges.
