Spider Conch

Lambis Conchs are typically found in warm, tropical waters of the Indo-Pacific region. They inhabit shallow coastal areas, coral reefs, and sandy or rocky bottoms. Lambis Conch are herbivores. They feed on algae and detritus found on coral reefs and rocky substrates. They use a specialized feeding structure called a radula to scrape algae and other food particles from surfaces. It's essential to avoid using copper-based treatments in a tank with invertebrates, as it can harm them. Always follow the recommended guidelines for medication use in marine aquariums.

Lambis Conchs are also sometimes known as Spider Conchs. They are uncommonly collected for the aquarium trade. The shells of spider conchs are typically brown or grayish with a characteristic pattern of spines or tubercles. The coloration can vary somewhat, and the patterns on the shells can be quite intricate and unique. They can grow up to 12".
