Conus caillaudi is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Conidae, the cone snails and their allies. [2]

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.

Distribution

This marine species occurs at Cargados Carajos in the Red Sea, in the Indian Ocean off Mauritius and off Réunion.
