If that's all, then it's definitely the conch. What species do you have? Any pics of it?A few tiny to small Ceriths, a tiny Nassarius, and a conch
Cool crown conch! Yeah, those are definitely her eggs.Meet Hannibal. Aptly named because when I first got him he ate anything he could catch.
Setup a larval rearing tank and offer some high-quality feeds of various sizes when they start to hatch (in the field, hatching takes place after 18-30 days).Any idea on how to give them their best chance at survival?
For a very simple larval rearing tank, take a container, put saltwater in it, add an airstone/gentle sponge filter, and - if needed - a heater that is blocked off by a fine mesh (preferably less than 40 microns).
Some larvae may need more than just room-lighting/ambient lighting too, but, IIRC, I don't believe these do.
For an example of a simple larval rearing setup:
Breeding Palaemon Elegans (Mediterrane Rock Pool Shrimp) Guide
Hi, Im going to post a breeding guide of palaemon elegans shrimps here. Two females are preparing for spawning so if you are interested you may want to stick with me. This breeding guide will be interchangable for every kind of shrimps but i stick elegans because: - With cleaner shrimp we are...www.reef2reef.com
Yeah, she'd need a male to mate with to produce fertile eggs.Thank you for the information! Before I dive off into this I am concerned these eggs aren’t even viable? I’ve had her for a year and she’s the only conch. Everything I’ve been reading indicates that she needs to mate in order to fertilize the eggs?
Ah, good reminder for me - they can store sperm and fertilize eggs at a later date, but I don't know for how long. So, there's a chance the eggs are fertile, but I don't know how much of a chance it is.Dang. So no chance that she’s been hanging onto these fertilized eggs for a year and just decided to lay them? Lol
