Conus duffyi 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.
This species occurs in the Caribbean Sea at Los Roques, Venezuela, and off the Dutch Antilles.
The average recorded depth of Conus duffyi is 2 meters. [3]
