Astrea or Astraea snails.

There's also a picture on pg. 191 of Reef Invertebrates by Calfo & Fenner that looks exactly like your specimens. They call it Astraea phoebia.

Thanks everybody just wanted to make sure they are safe. I bought them as sundial turbo snails but when you look them up as that they are really bad for your tank. These ones will be ok.
