    You don't hear much about the fighting conch.Iv had this guy for bout 2 yrs & he is probably the best cleaners iv ever had for my sand bed.Keeps my sand bed clean without diggin up corals. Keeps the glass pretty clean down near the sand. Eats just about nething & worx nonstop. Just thought I'd pass this along to nebody looking for new tank groomer. Best $8 iv ever spent. "HAPPY HAPPY REEFING"

    They are under $10 and are a lot of fun to watch, if you get an active one. I had a fighting conch, they don't fight but they are a great member of the tank and mine was always foraging for food.

    They may be too large for a biocube though

    Live aquaria says multiple requires a large tank but if kept single can be housed in any reef environment

    Yes I agree too big for a Bio. The issue Travis might knock your stuff around as you don't have much room in your sand bed. I've had one for 3 years now and rarely it comes out. I've tried adding more but the others don't seem to live long. The one I've had is big.
