Snail ID please

[Campbell]

Hi all,

In this pic the bottom right snail is a Cerith and next to it a Nassarius but what are the other three with the shiny, three stripe shells?

Thanks,
Campbell

They're marginellids, Prunum apicinum. They function mainly as scavengers, but may also kill and eat other tiny animals in your tank.
