Conus eburneus, common name the ivory cone, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Conidae, the cone snails and their allies.

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.

There is one subspecies: Conus eburneus crassus G. B. Sowerby II, 1858 represented as Conus eburneus.

Description

The size of an adult shell varies between 30 mm and 79 mm. The shell is white, usually with two or three light yellowish bands, marked with very dark brown revolving spots.

Distribution

This marine species is found in the tropical Indo-West Pacific from the coast of East Africa (off Madagascar and Chagos) to Australia (the Northern Territory, Queensland and Western Australia), Polynesia and the Ryukyu Islands (but not along Hawaii)
