Strawberry Conch

Strawberry Conch

Scientific Name: Conomurex luhuanus
Maximum Length: Around 2–3 inches

Favorite Things: Sandy areas of reef aquariums where it can burrow, sift, and graze. The Strawberry Conch is a powerful sandbed cleaner, constantly turning over substrate as it feeds. They eat diatoms, film algae, leftover food, and other nuisance debris, making them extremely valuable for new reef tanks that commonly experience diatom blooms.

Best Buddies: Completely reef-safe and peaceful with all corals, snails, hermits (as long as shells are available), shrimp, and fish. Works best in tanks with mature sandbeds and plenty of surface area to graze.
