provided by wikipedia EN

Conasprella mahogani 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 Conasprella, these cone 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 27 mm and 48 mm.

Distribution

This marine species occurs in the Gulf of California, Western Mexico to Peru and off the Galápagos Islands.
