I have trochus snails that breed like rabits. However some of them are growing about the size of rabits as well:

That looks like you may have a Cittarium pica.
Edit; Nope, next set of pictures show it being much more conical than the more bulbous Cittarium pica.

I’m suspecting large astrea snail. Pics will verify

Hey, free snails! If you've got too many, you can put 'em up in the sale forum, and I'm sure people will happily take them off your hands. There's always a market for captive-bred cleanup crew.
