    My sand conch has taken to my glass this morning. This may be normal... I don't know. But it strikes me as strange. Can anyone verify that glass cleaning is normal conch behavior? lol

    Side note... If it's not normal, should I try to remove him and put him in a part of the tank where there is plenty of crud in the sand for him to eat? lol

    its nto abnormal, it just means he needs more food than he is finding. My conchs used to climb from time to time until they got too big to support their shells on the glass. It looked painful to watch but they know better than we. I wouldn't worry bud.
