Lambda has been in this one for quite a while Mu had the other small one before he moved out and Epsilon moved in. I only have two of these shells and they are constantly occupied, my pps love them. I'd like to know what they are called so I can get more and share my findings with everyone else for a very different looking preferred shell

Re: What kind of shells are these?
So, I'm still pretty 'meh' at shell ID's, but I'd lean towards a tulip shell (Fasciolaria species), or alternatively a triton type.
Sorry - that's the best I got.
