Conus zandbergeni is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Conidae, the cone snails and their allies.[1][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.
Description
The size of the shell varies between 25 mm and 42 mm.
Distribution
This marine species occurs in the Indo-Pacific and is found in the Philippines, Indonesia, and the Solomon Islands.
