Conus jeanmartini (G. Raybaudi Massilia, 1992) (original combination) | |
Profundiconus jeanmartini is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Conidae, the cone snails and their allies.[1][2]
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
[edit]The size of the shell varies between 25 mm and 67 mm.
