for a 90 gal tank with rock I would recomend one fighting conch and thats it. a queen conch needs aprox 3x the tank size you have for it to grow to full potential, a fighting conch alone needs 2 sq^ft of open sand bed which is probably all your going to have with your rock in. also a queen conch will climb the rocks and with there size will be quite destructive. you could probably get away with a small cucumber and a fighting conch.
