Cerith snails?

I think they are cerith snails , just wanted to confirm.

Thanks

 

Bump

 

Looks more like a tulip snail to me

 

I read that the tulips snails have lines over the blotches going around its shell and I dont see any lines on the ones I have. I sure hope they are not tulips snails (predatory), any more suggestions?

Thanks

Edit: Just found a link that looks like the pattern they have, anyone agree?

They are ceriths for sure. There is one species from the west coast of Mexico that looks similar to those, and a couple species from the Indo-Pacific. They may be a variation of Clypeomorus batillariaeformis.

I always tend to assume that aquarists' snails are Indo-Pacific hitchhikers, but I notice you're in Florida. If you collected them locally, they are probably Cerithium litteratum.

+1 stocky ceriths.

Side note -Tulips can get huge! They prey on fighting conch herd near me, they must do well because I regularly find some the size of footballs.

 

Thanks Don those links definitely confirm there ceriths, karma for taking the time to look up the links and helping me out. John I see that you sell the same ones, If i was not able to collect them I would probably buy them from you since you have good prices.

Thanks
