Orange Horse Conch (Triplofusus giganteus)

This is the Florida state shell for a reason — Triplofusus giganteus is one of the largest predatory sea snails on the planet, capable of topping two feet in the wild, and it hunts other snails with an extendable proboscis rather than grazing algae like most of the cleanup crew. Bold orange coloring on a genuinely massive shell makes it a showpiece, but plan tankmates accordingly: anything shelled and smaller is potential prey, not company.

Care level: Easy · Temperament: Predatory to other snails · Max size: ~12" · Min tank: 55 gal · Reef safe: Yes (not snail safe) · Diet: Carnivore, scavenger + other snails
