The world in a shell

This large (~3") clam shell has become home to many animals.
White, tubular Florida wormsnails probably had a spiral point.
The purple-striped acorn barnacles share their world

with ivory acorn barnacles.

The worm shell on top may be broken off.
Boring turretsnails, a little over an inch long, are at bottom.
They have no siphon canal.
