Summary description from Wikipedia:

Conus vitulinus

Conus vitulinus 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.

The conus vitulinus uses its venom as self-defense to predators, as well as to hunt down its prey, which consists of worms, mulluscs and fish.
