Hello, I have got almost the same from Indo-Pacific (again locality data can help).
I identified it as Cheilea tectumsinense (Lamarck 1822)

i google the specie name you gave , and here's what i found,

i thought it was a crepidulidae but just found out it was actually a hipponicidae,
many thanks for your help, and maybe this could help you in some info regarding locality.
