Oops!

trochus?
ok...

found on the web:
The trochus snail sports a conical shape that is tighter than the typical turbo snail but it may be tough to distinguish the difference for the uninitiated.

thanks!

...and for the initiated. There are a couple of turbinids that look almost exactly like trochids, except the turbinids (Astraea/Astralium species) have shelly opercula that look like peas, while the similar trochids have thin, yellow-brown discs for operc's.

Cheers,
