For some reason I got the idea that a fighting conch would be a good addition to my Display Tank. I hear they are a real good part of CUC and it would be cool to watch them. There was a local reef swap today and there was a vendor with some livestock. He had some fighting conchs in plastic containers and my first thought was they seem bigger than I expected. They were all about 3" long and about the size of 10yr olds fist. So fast forward a few hours and I am driving home I acclimate and place it in the tank. It makes a few jerky moves where it extends its foot and twists the shell and I was surprised at the power it had. After watching for 10 minutes as it moved a few items on the sand bed like bull running the streets in Pamplona I decided to put it in the sump. I know they cant climb the glass but I was surprised it ran into things on the sandbed. Maybe poor planning on my part for lack of research but do you think it will like the 20 gals sump if i feed it? I have an open sump with fuge too. Maybe a warning to others. Anyone else have any similar experience? Thanks
