Baby fighting conch? Photo/video…Happy Mothers Day!

[Pinkreefgirl]

Have a baby fighting conch riding on its mom??? Brought the Mom home on 04/19/23. She/he just started coming fully out of sand and venturing out on Thursday. Don’t know if this little guy hitchhiked in her shell or what, but it is starting to form its shell now. Took some photos and videos last night. Brought home a tiger conch to the same day. Have mean murderous pink/blue watchman goby that kills anything (murdered 2 gobies) that gets close to his tiger pistol shrimp so needed something bigger.

perhaps a baby turbo snail? not sure if baby conch shells look like that.

Cool! The shell doesn't even really look like a conch shell to me but I have no idea what they look like as babies.
