A queen conch carries a pink, swirly shell on its back, like a fancy trophy. In the Bahamas, conch is the national dish, and the football team are the "Baha Boyz". This one moves so slowly that it has watched every minute of extra time.

On Futbol Island the queen conch can be caught at:

• Lifebuoy Point: Beside the red lifebuoy on the western boardwalk. Shrimp love the warm shallows.

Size on the island: 15–30 cm.
