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 18 mm and 60 mm.
Distribution
This marine species occurs off Southern Madagascar.
gollark: They're connected because of Higgs boson flux within neutron stars.
gollark: That's not proof, you just posted some papers which are apparently related because vaguely relevant physics term you don't understand, yes.
gollark: Burden of proof.
gollark: Like I said, unless you actually make a coherent claim/set of claims and set out what exactly you think is the evidence for them, it's very hard to actually show you're "wrong".
gollark: "Moron" is kind of repetitive.
