Which one is bigger Turbo or Margarita snails? I bought some of both but I think I have it backwards. One has a smooth shell and is about 3/4 inch. The other ones are huge about 2 inches and the foot is orange.

It sounds like a some Turbo spp. Margarita's typically only get 3/4 to 1" and prefer cooler water. Mexican turbos can reach as big as 3" but have a brown mottled foot.
