+KeeperOfTheZoo Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Thought I'd post this pic of my awesome cleaner conch. I don't hear them mentioned much when folks talk about clean up crews. This conch is pretty big, about 2". However, I've been very happy with how little destruction he causes to the various corals I have placed on the sand bed. He has excellent eye sight, I've even noticed him actively watching me when I'm standing next to the tank. Pretty cool guy. As you can see in the picture, he's doing a great job eating the film algae that grows in my tank by the end of the day (I'm thinking this is being encouraged by my lower K bulbs, gotta get rid of those things). And what goes in must come out.... the whole process captured forever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mFrame Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 One of my favorite critters to watch, I highly recommend them for your tank! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesL Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 The one I got from you is still hiding int he sand, but it keeps an ever watchful eye sticking out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+KeeperOfTheZoo Posted April 22, 2010 Author Share Posted April 22, 2010 James, Cyrus said the same thing about his. I guess I got the hyper conch. Hope yours comes out soon. If I'd known how great these guys are at sifting/ cleaning sand I would have gone to FL sooner to get one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
