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 12 mm and 20 mm.
Distribution
This marine species is endemic to Angola.
