Ive had a fighting conch for a few months. It is by far my favorite snail. As far as eating cyno and diatoms I don't really know. Also unless the cyno is on the sandbed it won't get to it. It seems very rare for my conch to climb and when he has it has only been on the glass. He just wanders around and east stuff off of my sandbed.]]> Wed, 11 Feb 2004 12:55:53 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1874&PID=17427&title=fighting-conch#17427 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1874&PID=17408&title=fighting-conch#17408 Author: Ryan Willden

Cool. I'm having a bit of a Cyano problem myself. Hopefully these guys would take care of it for me.]]> Wed, 11 Feb 2004 10:52:48 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1874&PID=17406&title=fighting-conch#17406 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1874&PID=17403&title=fighting-conch#17403 Author: rfoote

Ryan - I've had great luck with a couple fighting as well as a queen conch.  They keep the sand bad spotless and I don't think require any special care.  I had them clean up a small cyano problem over a year ago in just a week or so.]]> Wed, 11 Feb 2004 10:43:20 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1874&PID=17403&title=fighting-conch#17403 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1874&PID=17400&title=fighting-conch#17400 Author: Suzy

We've got two in our reef, and they are so cool! They turn the sand,
but don't eat the good stuff, so I've heard......]]> Wed, 11 Feb 2004 10:38:07 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1874&PID=17400&title=fighting-conch#17400 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1874&PID=17391&title=fighting-conch#17391 Author: Ryan Willden

I've heard really good things about these as Cleaners for sand beds. I'm just curious if anyone here has one, and what their thoughts are regarding their care, and usefulness in a reef.

Thanks]]> Wed, 11 Feb 2004 10:05:00 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1874&PID=17391&title=fighting-conch#17391
