FWIW, I have brought back shells many times and Customs did not even look twice at them.
I saw a number of conch shells on San Francisco beach (down from the area right out front of the restaurant). I also saw a conch shell in a glass exhibit at the airport of things customs will seize if they find, and fine you.

Toadfish. Splendid is implied but not guaranteed.
Queen conch is on the CITES list, so shells can't be imported without a license. I doubt customs agents care what sort of conch shell you have, so best not to bring any in.
