    So my girlfreind decided to order me a Tiger Conch in her order today and I have heard some eat snails and hermits. Will the tiger do it too?
    It said "Reef Safe" when she ordered but im worried it might eat em?

    Any info?

    This is the one she ordered. The very first one not the spider. Although I may have to get that one aswell lol!

    The "Tiger Sand Conch" is a made up name for the Strawberry Conch or Blood Mouthed Conch, Strombus (Conomurex) luhuanus. They are true strombid conchs, and only eat micro- and macroalgae. They are completely reef safe, other than jumping around your tank and potentially knocking things over.

    Cheers,
