I ordered these from Live Aquaria and I don't think they are really abalone

I ordered "abalone" from live aquaria and received these. Are these just regular nerite snails?

Would need to see a closer shot with the mantle, but these look like abalones to me.

Does this help?

If they have the 3-4 holes at the top of the shell then they are abalones but if they dont then they aint abalones.

Yours look more like nerite snails to me. atleast some of them look like nerites

Yeah I didn't think they looked like abalone lol. What should I do with them? They came in freshwater. Can I acclimate them to saltwater?

Yep nerites, they can handle brackish but not sure about full salt
