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 shell of Conasprella boucheti varies in size between 14 mm and 39 mm. [2] The shell is characterized by its conical shape and intricate patterns. The coloration of the shell typically features a combination of light and dark hues, which provide camouflage against the seabed. [3] The surface of the shell is adorned with fine spiral ridges and grooves, adding to its intricate appearance. The aperture is narrow, and the outer lip is thin and slightly flared. [4]

Distribution

This marine species occurs off New Caledonia.
