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 25 mm and 50 mm.
Distribution
This species occurs in the Caribbean Sea off Panama and Venezuela.
gollark: It's less fun when you can accidentally get `[object Object]` because of mixing up a type somewhere.
gollark: Fun python abuse:```python>>> import ctypes>>> import sys>>> ctypes.memmove(id(7), id(8), sys.getsizeof(7))140479605016896>>> 78```
gollark: JS is also ridiculously weakly typed and evil.
gollark: Except it doesn't actually have tuples, but close enough.
gollark: `forEach` also passes the function the index and entire array because of course.
