Queen conch eating Bryopsis????? pics now.....
 

Yeah seriously,

If I hadn't seen it with my own eye's I wouldn't have believed it. It was pulling in individual strands and eating them. I swear. Anyone ever heard of this? Maybe this is part of why my bryopsis problem is fading away.

Just wanted to share that little tidbit of info.

Hey does anybody know how fast these suckers grow?? All I've heard on RC is how its so bad for you to get one if you don't have a huge tank. Yup, conch chowder sounds pretty good to me.

Neat. I've been thinking about getting 1 or 2 just for diversity since I don't have a Bryopsis problem anymore. :D

Will they knock things around?

Where did you get a conch in Edmonton? Did you order over the internet?

Adam,

I don't think so. I have some of that same one you have. Nice acro that is for sure. [img]smile.gif[/img] . This thing is a wierd one. Has exploded with growth in the last couple of months. Doubled in size.

Sam,

I'd get one. The queen's grow BIG. I haven't seen mine knock anything over but it is still smaller than everything in the tank. :D

I got mine from JL, it's about the size of a quarter. The guy at JL said it will grow very fast, so hopfully a 75 will be big enough.

Sounds like they'll turn monster size. I think I'm going to pass.
