Yes, conch shells play an important role in their ecosystem. They provide shelter for various marine organisms, help with nutrient cycling by breaking down organic matter, and offer protection for conchs themselves from predators. Additionally, conch shells can become part of the substrate, providing a stable surface for attachment of algae and other marine life.

No, a conch is a mollusk which lives in a conch shell ,which it secretes itself. As the conch grows the shell gets bigger too, to accommodate it. Sea snails tend not to have any shell at all and if they do have a shell it is one that they secrete themselves. Hermit crabs live in the empty shells of mollusks and move to a new shell as they grow bigger.
