Looks like coronatus, juvenile striatus and catus to me, though I am not 100% about the last one.

Conchylinet.
I lean toward Conus miliaris for the first one, though it could be C. coronatus which is quite a variable species.
Yes Paul,on a closer look I think you are right with miliaris.

Dave, Paul, thank you.
All right, thank you for the confirmation Dave.
Cheers.
