![]() I don't know what kind of sandbed it needs. Mine used to have a lot of brown algae. That is why it grew so quick. That algae is now gone because even the Bicolor Blenny eats it. As to price I have no idea. It cost me $20.00 because the shipping was only shared by two people. And since it has tripled in size it should worth three times as much, right

![]() Here is what Dr. Ron says about the requirements of fighting conches - "Yes, they look like prime mature specimens of Strombus alatus, the Florida Fighting Conch. These guys need a lot of sand surface with algae on it, to graze on. Figure about 20 square feet each. They may take algal wafers or nori as food, but by and large they graze on diatoms on/in the sand.
They will also need a sand bed about 4 to 6 inches deep, simply to bury into." from - http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/sh...readid=352087& I HTH Vickie |

![]() Hi Bob, I could use it. My tank has a large beach front for a 54 corner and about 2 inches of sandbed. Lots of algea diatoms right now too. You have PM.
