Like all species within the genus Conus, these snails are predatory and venomous. They are capable of "stinging" humans, therefore live ones should be handled carefully or not at all.
There are three subspecies :
- Conus anabathrum anabathrum Crosse, 1865: alternate representation of Conus anabathrum
- Conus anabathrum antoni Cargile, 2011: synonym of Conus burryae Clench, 1942
- Сonus anabathrum tranthami Petuch, 1998: synonym of Gradiconus anabathrum tranthami (Petuch, 1998) accepted as Conus burryae Clench, 1942
Distribution
This species occurs in the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico
Description
The maximum recorded shell length is 51 mm.[3] The spire is elevated, and gradate. The body whorl is grooved towards the base. The color of the shell is pale yellowish brown, with a central white band and scattered white maculations, obscurely encircled by lines of light chestnut spots.[4]
