To answer your question Bob: my fighting conches are about 3/4 and 1 inch in lengths. I have had a few over the past and find that they don't grow too fast in my reef. Mine are 3 and 12 months old, with the older one being the larger one of course. However when something outgrows my reef, my roomate's 60gl always comes in handy for a new larger home wether it be a fish,coral,or crustacean.
And since were on the topic about conches and ID's. I once bought a strawberry conch and didn't know that this variety would grow so large. If I remember correctly, it looked alot like the smaller fighting conches that I have now.
Also, Dresden-I keep a six-line wrasse with my two fighting conches with no problems what so ever, with a larger wrasse species or a trigger I would use caution though.
cheers, Rich
