Hi all,

Very new to this hobby and learning everyday (alongside unlearning some bad tips!)

Im looking to get help in terms of ID'ing these 2 snails.

The first was sold to me as a Mexican Turbo Snail but unsure if this is correct, spent the majority of the time on the glass, never really in the sand or the roc work unless it fell over and I had to put it back right.

The second was sold to me as a Nassarius snail - initially spent its time going to the top of the glass and staying there for extended periods of time but would come back down to feed. It hasn't done this in weeks and is happy to stay on top of 2 pieces of live rock doing its thing.

Lastly, I was recommended to take these 4 Nitro(?) snails to help with the substrate and general clean up but dont see much under the nitro snail name, would love to know if this is correct?

Thank you for any help!
