red astrea snails?

[fishieness]

hello everyone,
Doesnt anyone know the species of the red astrea-type snails? I've seen them in live aquaria's diver's den, but not many other places and am having a hard time finding out the scientific name.
thanks!

The orangish or yellow Turbo species with bumps on the shells are Turbo castanea. The ones with cords, and no bumps, are Turbo cailletii.
