if you show many specimens in one picture, it´s always extremely helpfull if they are numbered.
This might be a first guess (Paul Monfils will know better):

upper row:
1. Charonia tritonis (juvenile),
2. Cypraeidae.
middle row:
3. Leporicypraea mappa,
4. Turbo petholatus?
5. Melongena corona?
lower row:
6. Mitra mitra,
7. Olividae.

upper row:
1. Conus litteratus,
2. Oxymeris maculata,
3. Tanea lineata,
4. three specimens of Cypraeidae; too much abraded for determination (at least for me)
middle row:
5. Arestoides argus,
6. Cypraeidae,
7. Clanculus puniceus?
8. Cassidae??
lower row:
9. /
10. Fasciolaria spec.
11. Pusula radians?
12. Monetaria caputserpentis?
13. Amphidromus spec. (terrestrial), Camaenidae
14. Haustellum haustellum.

in front of (left of) the fish: Lyncina carneola.

Kind regards: wolf

Thank you. Sorry about the pics.
I spent hours trying to figure these out. Figured out about 6 of them but not with these additional descriptions.
Apparently they are not as unusual as I thought. Learned a lot about grades, and color clarity.
There were Sea Fans, some softball sized corals, sand dollars, and starfish.
