The Strawberry Sand Conch is an Indo-Pacific conch with a mottled shell and an orange-red opening. It sifts the top layer of sand for diatoms, cyanobacteria, film algae and detritus, and has eyes on long stalks.
Why We're Obsessed
It keeps the sand bed looking clean and white, and it's fun to watch it hop along and peek around with those eye stalks.
Care: Peaceful and reef safe. Needs open, fine sand to sift. In very clean tanks, add sinking algae foods so it doesn't starve. Max size about 2–3".
