Conus carnalis
Conus carnalis is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Conidae, the cone snails and their allies. 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 34 mm and 63 mm. Distribution This species occurs in the Atlantic Ocean off Angola. References Sowerby, G. B., III. 1879.
