Conus voluminalis, common name the voluminous cone or the roller cone, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Conidae, the cone snails and their allies.[1]
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.
Description
The size of the shell varies between 30 mm and 72 mm. The color of the shell is whitish or yellowish white, usually faintly lined with yellow or light chestnut, with two bands of irregular longitudinal light chestnut blotches.[2]
Distribution
This marine species occurs from the Maldives to Western Australia; off the Ryukyu Islands. & Taiwan; off the Solomons & Papua New Guinea
