Spider Conch

Spider Conchs are tremendous algae eaters with some of the most iconic "seashell" shapes. They are usually found buried in the substrate, most often finer sand environments and may live in the open sandbed or on the reef. The freaky thing about these guys are their well developed eyes that will watch the action around them. Conchs feed on algae and detritus in the aquarium. They need a large amount of plant matter in their diet and may starve if out-competed for food or if there is not enough algae in the aquarium to support them. Conchs move using their powerful foot to propel themselves which makes them appear to hop over the bottom.
