Conservazione: Algansea monticola è valutata dalle organizzazioni internazionali di salvaguardia delle specie a rischio come (NT) Quasi Minacciata (2018). The total population size of Algansea monticola is unknown though is inferred to be declining. Regional impacts of groundwater extraction for agricultural, municipal, and industrial use are likely to negatively impact population size and the current threats have not been evaluated (Domínguez Domínguez & Lyons, 2019).
