The mystery of the missing conch

We added a fighting conch to our tank a few weeks ago. He seemed very active and healthy, but we haven't seen him in two or three days. I know sometimes they bury themselves in the sandbed (though he generally didn't -- at least not totally), but this seems unusually long. Should we be worried?
