I got this conch because my sand bed was literally green, at the pet store it was labeled "conch" I first thought it was a fighting because that was the only species I knew but I now think it is a tiger conch any input?

It is probably Conomurex luhanus (or formerly Strombus luhanus).

When it comes to common names, you might have a a couple of taxa sharing the same common name. I have bought one online labeled as "strawberry conch" that looked more like a crown conch. In my region, these often go under the name tiger conch.
