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 17 mm and 25 mm.
Distribution
This marine species occurs off North Transkei, South Africa.
gollark: I have a weird thing with overresearching random stuff in advance but then procrastinating on actually important decisions/things, so yes.
gollark: I think they have to use the same application timings and suffer similar weirdness with prediction, since most undergraduate applications go through one central system.
gollark: It's kind of stupid but cannot practically be changed now.
gollark: Anyway, universities just have to base it on predicted grades, past grades, and a "personal statement" and "reference". So you get an "offer", usually saying "if you get X grades you can go to this university", and have to hope that you match that in the exams.
gollark: Yep!
