The Top Cone Snail Photos Gallery contains outstanding close up photos of cone shells from the Hawaiian and Indo-Pacific areas.
Cone shells are well-known since they possess a powerful sting used to capture prey. Unfortunately some humans have been fatally wounded when incorrectly handling live cones, especially those that feed upon mollusks and fishes. The least dangerous method is to hold the shell at the widest point and be prepared to let go if the animal extends itself.
