I was asking because of this thread I read: http://www.reefcentral.com/vbulletin...ing+conch+gash quote: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Originally posted by rshimek The name comes from their escape response....If picked up on the beach, they will attempt to escape. In doing so, the foot will swing out with a fair bit of force and swing in an arc. The operculum (trap door) on the foot is curved and sharp, and they can inflict a wound on the person that picks them up. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quote:

FYI. I talked to J&L yesterday about getting Fighting Conchs and they told me that the reason they don't stock them is because there is no demand for them. In their last order, they would stay in their tanks for months and no one wanted to buy them. They told me that if they were to get 10 preordered, then they would bring them in. Just FYI.
