I vote Trochus for the triangular one based on the color pattern, and some sort of turbo for the little guy. Probably a zebra turbo.

The only real way to tell with the astrea/trochus is on the foot. The Trochus will have a black foot that is an off white/tan color on the underside of the foot. (source - liveaquaria.com)
