can conchs go backwards?

i got a fighting conch today, put him in. hes been doing great.

until he decided to go behind my rockwork. there is a narrow spot where he cant go forward anymore....and hes just been sitting there

is this clown smart enough to back out? or am i going to have to rescue him and block off that path?

 

I have 2 in my DT...so far, I have not worried about where they are going in and around the rock. I have seen them in some tight places one day and find them else where later in the week.

I find that both of mine are generally under the sand and less than viable for most of the week.

 

Where they belong.

 

ask pagojoe, hes the resident snail expert.

 

Even if he can't go backwards he can probably climb the rock in front of him.

 

well, he got stuck. twice. i had to rescue him. the 2nd time i let him stay there overnight to see if he figured it out, and he didnt. he also has yet to go under the sand.....that snail aint right

 

Sounds like your "snail" has some brain problems. lol

I don't really know what there is you could do.
