i doesn't look like a sundial snail.
Sundials have a kind of black and white checkerboard pattern.
Also they also have a cone shaped trapped door that closes behind the snail when they go into the shell.

not sure what she is tho.

thats not a sundial for sure. looks like it is probably some kind of Trochus snail.
