Stomboids are a small group of sea snails, commonly found in tropical waters. Usually identified by their large stalked eyes. Their shells are often dull on the outside but can be bright inside, as in these photo's.
Stromboids are edible and in some areas are regarded as a delicacy. Ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lobatus_gigas
