What is the sex of the adult conch?

Adult conchs are typically dioecious, meaning they have distinct male and female individuals. Males can be identified by their smaller, more elongated shells and the presence of a reproductive organ called a penis, which is usually tucked inside the shell. Females, on the other hand, tend to have a more rounded shell and lack this reproductive organ. During the breeding season, males engage in courtship displays to attract females for mating.
