Hi everyone. Could one of you help me out with an ID on these snails please?
They're not great photos, but hopefully good enough.
They have a slug like body similar to a stomatella, but i don't think that's what they are. They have rounded shells similar to a turbo instead of the more flat looking ones I usually see on stomatellas.
Also, they ventured above the waterline of the bag they hitchhiked their way home inside of briefly before going back underwater.

Thanks!

I still think it's a stomatella, but something like an S. modesta. Their shells are not as flat as the other more common ones.
