The conch snail is a marine mollusk known for its large, spiral shell. These snails belong to the family Strombidae and are commonly found in warm, shallow waters of the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico. The shell can be quite colorful and is often used in jewelry and decoration. Conch snails are herbivorous, primarily feeding on algae and seagrass. They play an important role in their ecosystem by helping to maintain the health of seagrass beds. Overfishing and habitat loss have led to declines in some conch populations, making conservation efforts essential for their survival.
