Went to go get turbo snails and didn't pay attention when the guy was picking them out, this doesn't look anything like a turbo to me. What is it?

Looks similar to a top crown snail (Astraea undoza). I've had them before and loved them for algae control.

hmmmmmmmm, that snail looks familar. def and astrea. only problem with them is that they can't right themselves if they fall.
 
They are like giant astrea snails. I have seen them snorkeling down here in FL. They are not actual astrea snails but similar in algae control. Worse bulldozers than Mexican Turbo Snails though they knock everything over.
