Contents

Like all species within the genus Conasprella, these snails are predatory and venomous. They are capable of "stinging" humans, therefore live ones should be handled carefully or not at all.

Description

The size of the shell varies between 15 mm and 29 mm. The shell is chestnut-colored, with revolving lines articulated with chocolate and white, a central white band and another below the angle of the spire. [2]
