Like all species within the genus Profundiconus, these cone 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 26 mm and 47 mm.

Distribution

This marine species occurs off the Philippines.

gollark: Applications have to handle them differently, and the kernel does too.
gollark: There's a significant difference between "send datagram" and "push to a stream" and, i don't know, "wait for an inbound TCP connection".
gollark: Still, though, I don't think having all this stuff as read/writeable "files" when the semantics are different is good.
gollark: I basically just want to receive packets from ff02::aeae port 44718 on all interfaces and send them too, and I can't tell what operations that maps to.
gollark: It does seem like the primitives are very irritating to make this multicasting thing work properly with.
