You brought them home with you? This would be one of the things anti-aquarium people hate. Most likely illegal to bring them back with you.

They are very overgrown - please make a picture of the other side, too (so we can see the opening, its rim and an operculum if there is one).

I may be captain obvious here but I dont think he brought it home with him... looks like he just wants an ID of the snail he found while in hawaii and not one he found and smuggled back to the main land lol

based on the trunk/snout of it, I would say a nassarius snail.
