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 44 mm and 63 mm.
Distribution
This marine species occurs off the Philippines and the Marshall Islands.
gollark: By default, it recursively looks for the pattern you want in the current directory.
gollark: I made a `grep` program. It is highly grep.
gollark: It's some sort of fancy generalized and more elegant jump.
gollark: Update: PotatOS is not getting BLAKE2 support due to æææææ no 64-bit integers in this version.
gollark: Exciting news: PotatOS is probably getting mildly faster updates eventually because I'm going to use faster BLAKE2b instead of SHA256 for file disrepancy checks.
