Like all species within the genus Conasprella, these snails are predatory and venomous. They are capable of "stinging" humans, therefore live ones should be handled carefully or not at all.
Description
The size of the shell varies between 22 mm and 51 mm.
Distribution
This marine species occurs off Somalia, the Philippines, Vietnam, New Caledonia and off Western Australia.
gollark: So possibly some rolling-average-type thing with an exception, or heavier weighting, for really steep walls?

gollark: Hmmm, that does sound like a hard problem.
gollark: But there may be a better approach for your particular problem, so what is it for exactly?
gollark: The Σ bits are just "sum of", which are really easy to implement with for loops.
