California Cone

Californiconus californicus

California Cone

The California cone hunts over rocky and sandy bottoms from the low intertidal down to about 45 metres along the west coast. It grows to roughly 4 centimetres and, like all cones, kills prey with a venom tipped harpoon tooth, making it one to look at rather than pick up.
