How about this long since departed one? We found the shell on a beach in Haiti.

My LFS has two of them in their main SPS display... they're HUGE. Must've been the size of a tennis ball..

As a mater of fact I have three of those monster zebra snails, I'm debating on weather to keep them or not. They do an amaizing job but the knock over corals and clams, I have to pick up a coral or two everyday. One is about 3 inches and the other two are about 2 inches.
