So I suppose my fighting conch didn't read the websites that said she won't climb. 
To give you a sense of scale, that zebra turbo is about 2.5"

mine will climb the tank wall to the top and then hang out there eating the algae on the lid and then drop down and eat stuff off the rocks..they are odd little creatures.
Mine does nothing. It was in the middle of my tank out front when I got it. And then it moved into a little cave and has not moved. I had to move it once to get at some stuff once, and it just moved right back. It has 2 leather toadstools and 2 purple mushrooms growing on it's back, and the toadstools do not like the cave. The mushrooms are fine, they just need a little light.
I've caught mine climbing the rock again but so far it hasn't been as brave as your's.
I'm surprised, when mine isn't sleeping it is really rather active. Pole vaulting, making a shallow tunnel around the perimeter of the tank and rocks. Shoot even when it is at rest the eye stalks seem to always be on guard.
That's so cool. Don't know too much about fighting conch (but I ate conch that I caught a few years ago if that counts, 
). How large do they get? Do they mess with anything or vice versa?

they are pretty peaceful and arnt to clumsy. they typically reach about 6 inches but usually no more than 4 and at a rate of fractions of an inch a year.
They are peaceful, reef safe, will want a deep sandbed to stir substrate which they are great at. They'll eat all sorts of algea, Mine is comical to watch, even does back flips on occasion. Mine is only a little over an inch and they get to be about 3-4.5 inches so not nearly as large as the Queen Conch.This page has a few good macro shots of them: http://www.pirx.com/gallery/mollusks

6-7 full grown in nature...but typically in aquaria they only get to about 4...like most captive animals they dont grow as large as they could.
