I agree with Dave on all but one. I think #1 is Chicoreus microphyllus (Lamarck, 1816).

Semicassis bisulcata is a variable species with several named forms. This smooth glossy form with the distinct spotting is somethimes called Semicassis pila (or Semicassis bisulcatum pila).  <span class="petit">--Last edited by Paul Monfils on 2008-07-19 07:24:49 --</span>
