Found these two scurrying around on a large piece of made baserock..

Sorry about the quality of the pics, but these puppies are small and REALLY hard to notice / easy to miss. They're both fairly round in shape, kinda dull grey/beige with brownish spots.. I'm guessing they haven't moved across the sand, but not sure..

Yeah, and I have more than 2 it looks like now too.. - I'm thinking they might be young trochus snails..??

I haven't been able to find hardly any pics of them without growth on their shells except THIS ONE but it looks like it has the same kind of brownish-red bandings.

And they seem to act a lot like astreas too, preferring rock or glass to sand. (I have a nassarius that acts the same way though... Who knows!?!)
