Conus julieandreae is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Conidae, the cone snails and their allies.[1]

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.

Distribution

This marine species occurs in the Caribbean Sea off Belize, Honduras and Colombia.

Description

The maximum recorded shell length is 30.7 mm.[2]

Habitat

Minimum recorded depth is 3 m.[2] Maximum recorded depth is 30 m.[2]

gollark: I don't see how you can empirically test your ethics like you can a scientific theory.

gollark: I'm not sure exactly how you define "moral relativists", but personally I've never seen a convincing/working argument for some particular ethical system being *objectively true*, and don't think it's even possible.

gollark: I don't think that works for the AI unless this situation is repeated somehow. It may not work at all, since you can't actually tell if it is torturing you or not, from outside it.

gollark: Oh, oops, I got the lever direction mixed up, sorry. I meant that if you left it trapped then it wouldn't have reason to torture you.

gollark: And you can verify that.
