These shells were once referred to as bailer shells. 
Long ago, sailors used the shell to bail water out of their boat.

The foot of a Philippine Melon sea shell is very large, round, thick, fleshy, and it can envelop part of the shell.  The tentacles, which have the eyes at their base are short and squat.  Philippine Melons live on sandy or muddy bottoms in tropical waters of Indo-Pacific Province.
