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 22 mm and 28 mm.
Distribution
This species occurs in the Caribbean Sea off Panama.
gollark: minoteaur, coming never, will eventually never include an actual dedicated synchronization engine, to deal with this.
gollark: Currently "my notes" means "the DokuWiki data folder", which is not actually that much use since I can't access it concurrently without breaking things, meaning to make edits I have to suffer the latency back to the main osmarksßservers.
gollark: The memeCLOUD™ is part of the part of my data collection which gets synchronized onto most of my available stuff, which includes my notes, archived webpages/PDFs, various public content, ebooks, and music, but *not* video media.
gollark: 128GB on my laptop, foolishly.
gollark: I do actually have a local copy of the memeCLOUD™ stored, which is nice.
