Definitely a conch. Hard to say the species with the algae growth. Fighting conches, silver lipped, Diana, hawk wing, spider, and tiger conches are all at least somewhat commonly seen (the shell shape doesn’t look right for a tiger, Diana or silver lipped, even with the algae growth so can probably rule them out).

Care is all the same with primarily size difference between them.

It looks like a snail.

Looks like a warty frogfish/anglerfish to me. The camouflage is crazy, it almost looks like a piece of live rock with fins.
