What kind of shells are these?

Image Lambda has been in this one for quite a while Image 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

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. :?

it doesn't seem to be either of those but thanks for trying, now I know some more shell names.

To me looks like a Cymatium/Linatella sp.

Looking around, found these for sale!! https://www.ebay.com/itm/Linatella-caud ... SwjL5ZJY~K Pretty good deal for that many specimen shells!
