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 18 mm and 29 mm.
Distribution
This species occurs in the Atlantic Ocean off Angola.
gollark: Interesting. I basically just want to generate sine, sawtooth, square and triangle waves and save them to files, so I'm not sure if I need "tonejs", but I'll consider it.
gollark: I ended up cobbling together a slow script for it in Python, but I want to democratize the generation of beeping noises.
gollark: Huh?
gollark: Anyway, the point of my idea is that a while ago I wanted to make a ringtone for my phone which would just be "BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP", but it turns out that this is actually quite hard and there doesn't seem to be easy tooling for it.
gollark: But with a unique memory management model and no undefined behavior unless you explicitly opt in.
