The left one is Littoraria irrorata.

Can't tell for sure on the second one, since I'm looking straight down on the spire. If it's not another Littoraria, the dark color makes it look like it might be Ilyanassa obsoleta.

The Littoraria is an algae eater, but may tend to want to climb out of your tank, or stay above the water line. The other one isn't really a tropical snail, and there are some reasons that many people don't keep them in their tanks, but you can read up on that on this forum by searching for Ilyanassa.
