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 19 mm and 36 mm.
Distribution
This marine species occurs off Eastern New Guinea.
gollark: Also, backwards compatibility so users don't have to install it, somehow?
gollark: Also, being used by multiple programs.
gollark: I expect it to get fun if they ever end up out of sync and download two different things to one file.
gollark: My libraries just have a minified line at the top for downloading dependencies they need.
gollark: CC has many problems for this, like:* Most users are kind of noobish and will just use the simplest solution* There's already a massive patchwork of approaches (mostly just direct download)* People will be annoyed at more installation steps since probably you'll end up installing the package manager for one application you want* Libraries are crazy too - most people pass around old pastebin links
