Conus frigidus

Conus frigidus, common name the frigid cone, 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.

Appearance

The color of the shell pale straw-color, violaceous at the base and the apex. The spire is three-grooved and shows revolving striae on the lower part of the body whorl, which become granulose towards the base.
