is an astrea and a pyramid snail the same thing? I got 2 pyramid snails at the LFS, and they look like astreas, but larger. Maybe they were calling them something else?

They are probably what are commonly reffered to as trochus... This is a HUGE family, we for some reason do not make any distinctions (within the hobby) regarding their individual spp....

I saw some trochus pics, and mine lack the red bands. More like a plain cream-colored shell with a corkscrew pattern. I think they are just big astreas.
