Conus taeniatus, common name the ringed 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 15 mm and 50 mm. The shell is indistinctly zoned alternately with pale violaceous and white, vividly encircled with fillets of dark chocolate and white articulations. The spire is obsoletely coronated.[2]

Distribution

This marine species occurs in the Red Sea, the Strait of Hormuz and off Kenya.
