Where to get a Queen Conch?

Reef Mongoose · 02-26-2008, 05:22 PM

Does anyone know a store in the tri-state area that sells Queen Conchs? I need a cheap sand stirer and I always liked conchs. They are cheap online, like 6-8 bucks but I don't wanna pay $30 to ship a $6 conch. Anyone know who might carry them? Any MR vendors?

I think NY Aquatic might have those.

I still have my giant turbo. He's been named Gary.
He's neato.

Aren't queen conches those really large ones whose shells are sold as tourist souvenirs? Wouldnt that be too big for the average home reef, at least because of knocking over rock work?

I thought Queen Conch is used to make conch salad...at least it was when I was in the Bahamas about 20 years ago.
