Horse Conch Snail

Horse Conch (Triplofusus giganteus)
Formerly known as Pleuroploca gigantea, the Horse Conch is a massive and impressive predatory snail with a beautifully elongated shell. Native to Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico sandy bottoms and reefs, this carnivorous snail actively hunts other snails, making it a natural predator in your tank. While hardy, it is best kept in large, species-specific or fish-only aquariums, as it will consume smaller snails and other slow-moving invertebrates. Its size and striking appearance make it a fascinating addition for experienced hobbyists.
