Tiger Conch Sand Snail

Tiger conchs spend their days plowed under the sand and their nights on patrol, using a long, hooked operculum to literally pole-vault across the substrate — a locomotion style nothing else in the cleanup crew really matches. Watching one cross the tank is genuinely one of the more entertaining things a snail can do.
