Conasprella poremskii is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Conidae, the cone snails, cone shells or cones. [1]
The size of the shell attains 13 mm. The shell of Conasprella poremskii typically reaches around 13-15 mm in length, showing a streamlined, conical form with dextrally (right-handed) coiled shells. Its coloration and intricate patterns often help it blend with the marine benthic environment, providing camouflage while hunting prey. [2] This species, like other cone snails, possesses a venom apparatus used for defense and prey capture, injecting a potent neurotoxin through a specialized radular tooth adapted to function like a harpoon

This species occurs in the Caribbean Sea and in the Atlantic Ocean off Brazil. Conasprella poremskii, named by Petuch & Myers in 2014, [3] belongs to the Conidae family, commonly known as cone snails. [4] This species falls under the genus Conasprella, which is part of the order Neogastropoda, a diverse group of carnivorous sea snails within the Gastropoda class. Known for their conical shell shape, members of this genus are adept predators, often hunting small marine organisms like fish and other mollusks. [5]
It favors habitats in coral reefs and marine benthic zones. These environments offer ample hiding spots and hunting grounds, as Conasprella species are ambush predators. [6] Their habitat preference includes areas of the seafloor like intertidal zones and coral reefs, where their diet of small invertebrates and fish is readily available.
