Any Florida Fighting Conch owners?

Hello, Not sure if my new fighting conch is getting enough food. Its been sitting still since yesterday. I lifted it out of tank and it is alive. What type and brand of food are you supplementing? Any tips regarding conch's care are appreciated.
Thanks

this a sand sifter it eats stuff leftover in the sanded. How old is your tank and what size?

My 46 bowfront tank has been up and running for 17 years, however, I do vacuum the sand during weekly water changes, so I was looking to possibly supplement.
Thanks for your reply

Mine does that all the time. I’m always afraid he’s dying but he always moves on. You could try not cleaning the sandbed, or at least not as much.

Thanks for your reply’s. Is is sifting, near the live rock, so it must be finding food.
