Conus brunneofilaris is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Conidae, the cone snails and their allies.[1]

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.

Distribution

This species occurs in the Caribbean Sea off Panama

Description

The maximum recorded shell length is 14 mm.[2]

Habitat

Minimum recorded depth is 65 m.[2] Maximum recorded depth is 65 m.[2]

gollark: You have to deal with trusting a server and maybe key distribution and stuff.

gollark: Fair, although they're somewhat more *complex* than "magic uninterceptable channel"l.

gollark: So only stuff like PotatOS ship strong crypto nowadays.

gollark: The other way would be some sort of hypercomplex crypto solution, but it would probably have its own problems and I think SquidDev said no to including that sort of thing in core CraftOS.

gollark: If they made it magically uninterceptable, that would be uncool and bad for learning.
