Dear Conch-Lers,

I recently returned from a trip to Honduras where I picked up a few
shells that I cannot i.d.  I would greatly appreciate help in finding
the names for the following shells.

Specimen 1: An Astraea species collected at 6 ft nestled in a dead
coral matrix.

Specimen 2: This smooth shell was one of five seen active during the
night in the sand valleys between living reef fingers at 30 ft.

Specimen 3: This tiny and colorful turrid species (about 10 mm) was
found under
coral rubble at 4-5 ft in very rocky areas.

Thank you in advance for any help you can provide on i.d.

My best regards,
Andre Poremski

Washington, DC
