The conch has a foot ending in a pointed, sickle-shaped, horny operculum, they move with a characteristic leaping motion, using their operculum to propel themselves forward.

They breathe through gills located within the excurrent siphon in the mantle, near the exit point of their digestive tract. Same as all marine mollusks.
