}}Conus cocceus, common name the cocceus cone or the scarlet-spotted 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 42 mm and 54 mm. The shell is turbinated, rather stout towards the upper part, a little rounded, transversely very finely ridged. The interstices between the ridges are slightly pricked. Its color is white delicately filleted with small irregular pale scarlet spots. The spire is obtusely convex.[2]

Distribution

This marine species is endemic to Australia (Western Australia)
