Tiger Sand Conch

The Tiger Sand Conch (Strombus sp.) is a fascinating addition to any marine aquarium, characterized by its striking tiger-like patterned shell. This species typically grows to a size of around 2-4 inches, preferring sandy substrates where it can bury itself during the day and emerge at night to forage. Its diet primarily consists of detritus, algae, and leftover food particles, making it an efficient cleaner in reef tanks. Providing a well-established aquarium with plenty of live rock for grazing and hiding spots is essential for their well-being. Additionally, maintaining stable water parameters including temperature (around 72-78°F), pH (8.1-8.4), and salinity (1.023-1.025) is crucial. Regular water changes and supplementation with calcium and iodine will help promote shell health and growth. Overall, the Tiger Sand Conch is relatively easy to care for, but it's important to monitor their behavior and shell condition to ensure they thrive in captivity.
