I ordered Turbos and this is what i recieved.
Is this a type of turbo?

Yes, that looks like Turbo. It is a different species than the typical Mexican turbos, though. Try searching google for species lists of Turbo. It isn't a huge genus. Where did you order them from?

I think:

They are zebra turbos. I've heard they are more nocturnal than mexican turbos. Could be wrong though...

It's a Tiger Turbo.

I ordered from my local Petco!
They will special order just about anything, they let me know what day it's arriving and i pick it up that day.
It never goes into their tanks!

It isn't a "tiger turbo" because those are a Trochus sp. Turbo is a genus of snail. Trochus is related, though.
