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 50 mm and 114 mm.
Distribution
This marine species occurs off Japan, Taiwan, the Philippines, in the Coral Sea and off Australia (Queensland).
gollark: Interesting fact: Feature wise, AV1 is specifically designed for real-time applications (especially WebRTC) and higher resolutions (wider color gamuts, higher frame rates, UHD) than typical usage scenarios of the current generation (H.264) of video formats, where it is expected to achieve its biggest efficiency gains. It is therefore planned to support the color space from ITU-R Recommendation BT.2020 and up to 12 bits of precision per color component. AV1 is primarily intended for lossy encoding, although lossless compression is supported as well.
gollark: Does anyone?
gollark: It might be for Verilog.
gollark: On Macos, yes.
gollark: It *cannot* compile really fast, the compiler is a horrible assemblage of broken regices, the automatic memory management just leaks, C to V translation has not been demonstrated to work usefully.
