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.
Conus corallinus Kiener, L.C., 1845

Distribution
This marine species occurs off Okinawa, Japan and New Caledonia.
gollark: Google's DNS servers, it's easy to remember.
gollark: I admittedly haven't checked very hard, but `ping 8.8.8.8` says `(DUP!)` a lot sometimes and sometimes receives the same sequence number twice.
gollark: Apparently my internet connection is even more broken now. It seems to somehow be duplicating packets and having wildly variable latency.
gollark: Having a good antenna does help with *receiving* the signal from your phone or whatever, at least, as far as I know.
gollark: A wireless mesh thing is *probably* going to be better than basically no signal.
