Common name: Conch
Scientific name: Strombidae
Strombidae, commonly known as conchs, are a family of medium to large-sized sea snails found in tropical waters. These gastropods are characterized by their thick shells and the unique way they move, using their muscular foot to 'hop' along the substrate. Conchs are herbivores, feeding on algae and detritus, making them beneficial for controlling algae growth in reef aquariums. They are also known for their interesting behavior and are a popular choice among hobbyists for their ornamental value and utility.
