Known for their distinctive elongated shells and vibrant orange foot, these snails are more than just a pretty addition—they're hardworking custodians of the sea floor.

### Key Benefits

**Efficient Sand Sifters**: Fighting Conch Snails are renowned for their ability to sift through sand, consuming detritus, leftover food, and algae. This not only keeps the substrate clean but also prevents unwanted buildups that can affect water quality.

**Reef-Compatible**: With their peaceful nature, these snails coexist harmoniously with a wide range of reef inhabitants, including fish, corals, and other invertebrates. Their non-intrusive behavior ensures they won’t disturb your tank's delicate ecosystem.

### Care Requirements

**Tank Size**: A minimum of 30 gallons is recommended to provide ample space for their active foraging behavior.

**Water Parameters**:
- **Temperature**: 72-78°F
- **pH**: 8.1-8.4
- **Specific Gravity**: 1.023-1.025
- **dKH**: 8-12

**Feeding**: While Fighting Conch Snails primarily feed on detritus and naturally occurring algae, supplementary feeding with high-quality algae wafers or pellets can be beneficial, especially in newer tanks with limited natural food sources.

Feeding & Diet

An opportunistic omnivore, the Pithos Crab will scavenge detritus, uneaten food, and algae — making it a natural cleanup crew member. Supplement with small meaty foods like mysis shrimp or pellets 2–3x per week if natural food sources are limited.

Care & Water Parameters

The Pithos Crab thrives in stable, well-maintained reef conditions. Target parameters: temperature 72–78°F, salinity 1.025–1.026 SG, pH 8.1–8.4, and alkalinity 8–12 dKH. A mature, established tank of at least 20 gallons is recommended.

Reef & Tank Compatibility

Generally considered reef-safe. The Pithos Crab coexists well with most corals and peaceful fish. Use caution with very small invertebrates or slow-moving tankmates. Provide ample rockwork and hiding spots to reduce territorial behavior.

Size & Growth

Pithos Crabs are typically shipped at 0.5–1.5 inches. They are slow-growing and generally remain small, making them well-suited for nano and mid-size reef systems.
