These snails live on the reefs of the Indopacific region. They usually hunt small fish. Although it looks beautiful, this very dangerous snail has an incredible ability to detect prey swimming nearby.

Once they recognize their prey, they immediately use needle-like growths from the mouth. It will inject some kind of poison into its prey. This poison is very toxic and has some painkillers as well. It will paralyze the victim’s body.

Humans also do not escape being victims of these snails even if not as food. Often, these snails are capable of threatening the lives of divers.

A total of 30 people died in 2004 due to snail cones. It is said that a few quantities of its toxin can kill around 10 people.
