Anyone know what kind of conch this is?
Whether it’s poisonous or carnivorous

Looks like some type of cowry snail to me..
It looks to have a membrane that covers part of the shell
Can't tell the color in the photo.. but I'll attach a picture of a cowry snail

It does have the frilly membrane covering part of the shell close to the foot. Shell is pearl white color. Thanks for the input. Let me look up to make sure it’s not poisonous or will eat fish.

I don't think they are either.. just herbivores if I remeber correctly

Yes, it's Money Cowry, Cypraea (Monetaria) moneta. They are generally considered to be harmless.
