Can someone help me ID this snail?

[SheltonGoesSalt]

Hello everyone,

All is well on my end! I just wanted to know what type of snail this is if anyone has the time. The gentleman at the lfs that helped me out provided me with three. I have a Mexican Turbo Snail, Turban Snail, and this one which from research looks like a Trochus, but I don't think it is. Is anyone able to confirm?

I got to running my mouth and we were talking about welding and hobbies and then I left without confirming. I did call him back and he could not tell me off the top of his head.

I greatly appreciate it

I think this is an astrea snail

Spiny Astrea snail (admittedly with quite short spines)?

After looking at what you sent, this lil guy deff has short spines ? Do you think that's an indication of anything? Im just curious.

To be honest: I don't know. Maybe it's just a juvenile, maybe it's a different species.
