I have seen "fighting conches" at Wai's.

The only thing is some of them were on the glass. I've never (and I mean never) seen mine leave the sand. Makes me think they're different species.

Last I heard, J&L didn't sell them. I think at a time they did sell "queen conches" but I'm not sure if they still do (worthy of emailing them and asking if you're interested. Bear in mind queen conches are supposed to get quite large, probably too large for the likes of some tanks.) Seacare sold "strawberry conches" which I think are a third species yet. I could be wrong, I haven't been in the market for one for a while so I'm not current. I got mine from SWC, and at the time I got mine, SWC was the only really reliable supplier of "fighting conches" that you could be sure he'd have some available on a regular basis, plus that you could be sure that you were in fact getting a "fighting conch" and not something else. But, like I said, that was easily a year ago or so, and so that was then, this is now. My knowledge is no longer current!
