What little I understand ,certain conchs are great for the sb. They are hardy & interesting to watch. They are omnivores & will sift thru the sb for algae& such.I also understand certain others ( conchs or whelks maybe)are predatory & it can be hard to tell them apart. They can grow fast & need enough open Sb to range for food. I aquired a fighting conch( I hope) today for sandbed duty. If mine stays on the sb like Frankie's, it will have plenty to eat for some time!
