| display_parents = 3 }}Conus floccatus, common name the snowflake 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. DescriptionThe size of the shell varies between 35 mm and 86 mm. The solid shell has an oblong, subcylindrical shape. It is granosely silicate below. It's color is light purplish, with longitudinal flames and revolving bands of chestnut, and lines of angulate white spots.[2] DistributionThis marine species occurs off New Caledonia, Vanuatu, the Solomon Islands, the Samoan Islands, the Marshall Islands, Indonesia, the Philippines and Australia (Queensland).
