Turbo (mollusc)

Turbo is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs commonly known as turban snails, in the family Turbinidae.

The shells of species in this genus have a round aperture and a solid calcaerous operculum.

Turbo shells are a favorite choice of shells for Coenobita clypeatus, the Caribbean hermit crab or "purple pincher" as it is known in the pet trade.

Turbo cornutus, common name the "horned turban", is an expensive food item in Korea.
