I have a beautiful, big cameo conch shell in the tank, and a few smaller
ones. Will my goldfish be okay with ocean shells?

It makes no difference tol them..........although unless periodically
cleaned the shells can become a source of holding bad nasty pathogens
since they are essentially dead spots filled with water and detrius.
It happens in sal****er tanks that empty shells harbor high nitrate
problems and its certain possible in a small freshwater tank as well
