Conus crotchii
Conus crotchii, common name Crotch's cone, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Conidae, the cone snails and their allies.[2] 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.
DescriptionThe size of the shell varies between 18 mm and 32 mm. (Original description) The shell exhibits a somewhat abbreviately conical shape and is relatively solid. The surface is smooth, although striated at the base, and the spire displays a somewhat flatly convex profile with striate grooves. The shell exhibits a white coloration, densely encircled by fine, thread-like burnt-brown lines. Occasional snow-white spots interrupt this pattern. The spire is characterized by brown spots along the edge of the body whorl.[3] DistributionThis species occurs in the Atlantic Ocean off the island of Boa Vista, Cape Verde.[1] References
