Conus limpusi
Conus limpusi 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. Taxonomy
Conus limpusi is part of a species complex including Conus albellus, Conus lizardensis and Conus colmani, that needs re-evaluation. For conservation implications, all are here tentatively listed as distinct species. Description
The size of the shell varies between 28 mm and 55 mm. Distribution
This is an Australia Queensland marine species. References
