Like all species within the genus Conasprella, these cone 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 17 mm and 40 mm.

Distribution

The marine species occurs in the Persian Gulf and in the Western Pacific.

gollark: As I said, it should be a multicast address.
gollark: It's on my laptop, which isn't currently on WiFi or anything, so yes.
gollark: ```rust let multicast_addr: Ipv6Addr = "ff02::aeae".parse().unwrap(); let socket = Socket::new(Domain::ipv6(), Type::dgram(), Some(Protocol::udp()))?; socket.set_only_v6(true)?; socket.set_multicast_loop_v6(false)?; socket.join_multicast_v6(&multicast_addr, 0).with_context(|| "join multicast failed")?; socket.bind(&SocketAddr::from((Ipv6Addr::UNSPECIFIED, PORT)).into())?;```
gollark: It's likely that my code is just setting up the socket wrong somehow, since I mostly just used the multicast-looking things in the docs and rearranged the calls until it stopped saying stupid things like "OS error 22".
