Ok I saw my 2 Conch a few min. ago and the where shell to shell kinda on their sides. I was wondering what the deal was because this was new? I reached in and to my suprise the both where stuck together!! I did not know these guys would breed in my tank? Will I have babies??

are you sure they weren't trying to eat each other? Every once and a while I find my queen Conch chowing down on a snail.
I believe that you can get tank bread/raised conchs (infact they have them for sale on the site), so their breeding in your tank is possible. Maybe you will have babies and you can sell them to the LFS for some credit!

That is why I reached down at them(fighting) to my suprise this was no fight
one was all the way on side and the other was almost upside down snug to each other. Both of the sharp climbing leg was tuck up and there eyes/mouth just kinda relaxed. When I went to pick up one I put it back down very quickly, I saw the where attached with this long looking thing and my sand was all stuck to it and all around them was sticky because the sand was all stuck all over it, look like what clumping cat litter does when the kitty goes poop.

2 of my conches did the same thing! and had those clumps too!!! (i pulled them away once and then i noticed the sand, and then i think they got back together or just one of them made another clump in the sand. And these arnt small clumps they are like 2-3 inches each (about as big as the conch) so.. ya.. i wasnt sure if it was some weird way of conches pooping.. or what u guys have said lol
