• Place the conch on a pedestal (around 4-5 ft)...
• Make sure the opening of the shell is unobstructed so the live slug will squirm out and search for the floor (will happen after 15min - 1 hour)
• Prepare a nose from a heavy fishing line in one end of the line
• Tie a hammer or any half to 1 kilo weight in the other end of the line.
• Carefully lift the noose up to the base conch shell without spooking the slug (else you have to wait again)
• quickly tighten the noose (yes quickly)
Gravity will do the rest. Waiting time is 2- 5 hours before they fall off.
Note: It'd be a good idea to put a bucket in the bottom for the slug to fall into...yes add some water so the hammer won't dent or break your bucket.
Good luck and please check if the conch population is healthy and check regulations before plucking them from the seafloor.
