A great many, most notably Epitoniidae and Janthinidae.  There is an
interesting note in an early issue of The Nautilus about someone walking on
the beach in the Keys while wearing a white suit.  Many Janthina had washed
ashore so he filled his coat pockets.  When he returned to his lodgings he
had a purple-stained suit!
