Description

The Fighting Conch, scientifically known as Strombus gigas, is a captivating marine species characterized by its beautifully spiraled shell, typically exhibiting a mix of brown, orange, and cream hues. This large and visually striking snail is an excellent addition to reef aquariums due to its peaceful nature and beneficial scavenging habits.

Native to the sandy bottoms of the Caribbean and tropical Atlantic, Fighting Conchs play a crucial role in maintaining a clean aquarium environment by feeding on detritus and algae. Their active foraging behavior helps aerate the substrate, promoting a healthy ecosystem.

Caring for the Fighting Conch is relatively straightforward, as they adapt well to stable water conditions. A diet primarily consisting of algae, along with supplemental herbivore pellets, will ensure their health and vitality.
