Not worth doing it and polluting your tank since turbo snails cost only $1.

Also, the snails on the beach are of different species and it likes to surface out of the water. I know because I caught them before and they kept climbing out of my tank... not advisable for aquariums.

the only snails found on our shores that are suitable for tanks are cowries,some limpets....the best one is Nerita polita

not only they stay under water, doesn't knock off rocks like turban snails, pretty shells(probably no 2 shells are the same), easy to collect, its free and abundant.
