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

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?
