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 Nicaragua and Honduras.

Habitat

gollark: Not really.
gollark: It'll get mouse_move events from both, meaning that depending on how it's done you would end up with it working "correctly" but with multiple things selected, randomly flicker between them, or it might implode or something.
gollark: Well, there's a 200ms throttle or something, and processing more events is bad for the server.
gollark: I shall have to somehow block mouse_move events inside potatOS.
gollark: I copy-pasted that from above, yours won't do that if you don't rely on it, no.
