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.
Description
The size of the shell varies between 19 mm and 35 mm.
Distribution
This species occurs in the Atlantic Ocean off the island of Boa Vista, Cape Verde.[1]
gollark: Huh? Modern phones mostly have 2.4 and 5GHz, they can't do that off one antenna surely.
gollark: I think modern WiFi stuff uses *multiple* antennas, actually, it's called "MIMO".
gollark: It would also not be very useful for spying on people, since they would just stop saying things if they got a notification saying "interception agent has been added to the chat" and it wouldn't work retroactively.
gollark: One proposal for backdooring encrypted messaging stuff was to have a way to remotely add extra participants invisibly to an E2Ed conversation. If you have that but without the "invisible" bit, that would work as "encryption with a backdoor, but then make it very obvious that the backdoor has been used" somewhat.
gollark: Not encryption itself, probably.
