Anybody else have a Fighting Conch that likes to climb Live Rock? Mine seems to somehow always manage to get himself about 6-8 inches up in my rockwork. Maybe once every 2 weeks. Most of the time he is just hanging out on my sand.

I have one fighting conch that tries to climb up the glass. The furthest I've seen it climb is about 10". The other conches in the tank behave like they should ;)

I have heard that climbing conches is a sign that they are hungry. Not enough chow to keep them on the sand. I had 5 and had them climb the glass when there was nothing or very little to eat. I actually gave them little strips of nori which they appeared to eat. After rock collapses I have 1 of the original 5 left and he never climbs anything.
