Fighting conch gone missing

Its been a couple days with no sign of the fighting conch.
He has never run away like this before.
Last seen walking along back of tank.
Please report and findings to the Missing Conch line.

No but serious is it normal for Conches to hide for days on end.
I miss him and my sand is turning brown!!!!

I've gone weeks without seeing mine (I have two in my tank). I don't know what they're up to, I get all concerned, then get all sad thinking that they're goners, then they go and show up again. Weird. Don't know what they're doing when they go on vacation like that.

If there's lots for it to eat, I suspect that yours is doing the same espescially if it's only been a day or two or three ... I bet you see him (her?) again by week's end. My $0.02, anyways, HTH..

I have two, so I am never sure if I am looking at the one that is missing or the other one.

so it is "con-ch" or "con-ke"? never been able to figure that one out.

Both are correct:

If you have a soundcard, click these to hear both pronunciations:
