By any chance, does anyone know the species name of these snails?

I know that site is not very trustworthy, and has it's problems. I'm just asking about this snail.
They claim Collonista sp, but these don't look like any Collonista snail species I've seen. I don't have much faith that they actually know if it's Collonista or not.

Is there a snail expert on this site?

I would not trust vendors for accurate scientific IDs, as they can get them wrong A LOT.
My best guess is a young lithopoma tuber, but I'm not sure.
Yah, i’m skeptical of most, especially “rusalty”, but there’s always the off-chance they know something the rest of us don’t.

lithopoma tuber looks very different. This site claims they stay small, but also can’t trust that as well. The site has the world’s worst communications. Never got a response from a single email.

My guess is it’s from somewhere around Florida, as it seems that site just goes into the ocean, grabs whatever they find, and tries to sell it. Including swimming scallops, sand dollars, octopus, horseshoe crabs, tons of sponges, a bunch of weird snails, etc.
Not sure on the legality of what they collect as well.
