About this converter

New Horizons diving pays fixed bells from 500 to 15000 per sea creature. Sea Cucumber and Sea Star open at 500, Seaweed at 600, Sea Grapes at 900, Scallop at 1200, Mussel at 1500, Sea Urchin at 1700, Chambered Nautilus at 1800, Abalone and Slate Pencil Urchin at 2000, Pearl Oyster at 2800, Spiny Lobster at 5000, Umbrella Octopus at 6000, Spider Crab at 12000 and Gigas Giant Clam at 15000. That makes one Gigas Giant Clam equal thirty Sea Cucumbers. Every figure here is the Nook Cranny sell price, not the drop box price which pays 20 percent less.

How to use it

Pick two creatures and a unit in the top row, for example Spider Crab and Mussel. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. One box holds a count of the first creature, one holds the matching count of the second, one holds the total in bells. Try 1 Gigas Giant Clam against Sea Cucumbers.

Sea Pig at 10000 and Vampire Squid at 10000 and Giant Isopod at 12000 sit out to keep the list at fifteen, but they match the top tiers above. Night windows matter for Nautilus and Abalone and Spiny Lobster. Seaweed and Sea Grapes are plants in game but paid as sea creatures at the same counter.
