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 20 mm and 45 mm.
Distribution
This marine species occurs off the Philippines.
gollark: Seems reasonable.
gollark: Now, rebuilding society will be much easier if your bunker also contains a giant manufacturing facility with everything needed to make at least late-20th-century tech. But that would need people to operate, so add those too, and also extra room and food and whatnot for them.
gollark: Ridiculous. Just make toilet paper out of trees directly.
gollark: And you need entertainment as well, so probably a few hundred terabytes of HDDs so you can store every movie you're ever likely to watch, with redundancy, and you might as well just store every scientific paper and book ever written to help rebuild society.
gollark: I guess you could install that too.
