Better pics. Its a toss up. Strombus get to about 1/2 " whereas conch look similar but larger. Strombus best represents OP pics
 
You need to keep a close Eye on the Asterina Starfish, some eat Corals. Check your Corals, after the Lights have been out at least two hours, and before the tank gets any light in the morning. About the only way to totally get rid of them is with a Harlequin Shrimp. Ones I have are eating algae and came out of the Gulf of Mexic, so far they haven’t bothered my Corals.
 
This small columbellid (Euplica or Pyrene species) is often misidentified as "Strombus maculatus." It is a whelk look-alike that is a highly beneficial grazer found in many reef aquaria.
