The cone snail refers to a large group of predatory sea snails that are distributed along the Indo-Pacific region. The most dangerous cone snail in the geographic cone. Its venom is delivered via a harpoon-like tooth propelled from an extendable proboscis which is used to skewer and poison its prey.
