Conus hybridus, common name the hybrid cone, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Conidae, the cone snails and their allies.[2]

Conus hybridus Kiener, L.C., 1845

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 an adult shell varies between 22 mm and 47 mm. It resembles Conus ventricosus Gmelin, 1791, but its color is darker.

Distribution

This species occurs in the Atlantic Ocean off Senegal.

gollark: 152.94 megaoffense.

gollark: I feel like this calls your competence as a possible GTech™ employee into question.

gollark: Yes, but the usual protocol isn't encrypted or at all secured.

gollark: Wrong.
