What is this...?

[Sports Girl]

The LFS said they were "cateye" snails, but I cannot find anything on them (even Google). They're great algae grazers, and they add a great orange color to the tank so I'd like to get more, but I want to know what they are! Also, if someone knows the scientific name; that would be awesome!

(Also, is there another forum I should be posting this in for more info? Thanks!)

Looks like mexican turbos to me.

I have Mexican Turbos also, and they don't really look alike. These orange ones are also at least half the size of the turbos. Thanks for the response, though!

Anyone else? Should I post this in another forum?
