Hi Allan, I think it is Cerithium coralium see:

Hard to see upside down but looks like it to me.

Hi Dave,

I have uploaded a better picture of my snail. Potamidae, Batillaridae and Cerithiidea look so similar. I hope could help me out!

I don't remember it being left-handed. Otherwise I would still say C. coralium.

Hi Dave!

No its right-handed. I just made upside down by manipulating the pic and it appeared left-handed. Sorry. Thanks for your help! and Pierrre too!
