Please ID 2 Snails

Please check out the snails in the attached photo and then if possible tell me what they are, and if they are reef safe. Thank you.

Current Tank Info: I have a 210g long that is a mixed reef for as long as I can hold back my anemone addiction!

Top snail looks like a turbo and the bottom looks like a nerite.

The first one is actually an Echinolittorina species. The second one looks to be Nerita versicolor. Both of these species live right at the high tide line, so you might have trouble keeping them in the water of an aquarium. They won't hurt anything, though.

Cheers,



Don
