What type of conch is this?!

[BananaHammox]

Hey hey,

So i have a conch in my 180g reef tank, which I thought was reef safe....but last night I caught him eating a snail!!

Anyone know what type of conch this is?! I have a 155 bowfront FOWLR with a bunch of algae that that he would do great in.....if he doesn’t eat my $200 cleanup crew! I searched thru my records and I bought a tiger sand conch (which it doesn’t appear to be) and a wild fighting conch? Maybe it’s a wild fighting conch? But anyways if I move it to my 155g Fowler tank will he eat my cleanup crew instead of algae?!

Any help appreciated!!

That is not a conch, it is a meat eating snail.
