The first one looks like Pisania pusio <a href="http://www.femorale.com.br/shellphotos/detail.asp?species=Pisania+pusio+%28L%2E%2C+1758%29" target="_blank"><!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.femorale.com.br/shellphotos/detail.asp?species=Pisania+pusio+%28L%2E%2C+1758%29">http://www.femorale.com.br/shellphotos/ ... 2C+1758%29</a><!-- m --></a>

I agree with Pisania pusio. The other shell may be Arene tricarinata (Stearns, 1872). Not certain. How big is it?  <span class="petit">--Last edited by Paul Monfils on 2008-05-17 08:27:05 --</span>

Check your files and books I think is a Trochidae Liruralia ( could be a acuticostata) but according to The National Audubon Society this species is from the Pacific and i Picked up in the caribbean, could be a cousin ?
