Queen Victoria cone
The Queen Victoria cone is a sea snail with a patterned shell. It lives in the sea off northern Australia. It can sting people, and its venom is being studied for possible pain medicines.1

Ho e tseba jwang
- Its shell has a light, net-like pattern of small, pale, arid-coloured markings.1
- These pale markings contrast strongly with bands of very dark chocolate-brown stripes that run along the shell.1
- Some areas of the shell are partly covered by violet-tinged clouds.1
- The shell is usually 35 to 94 mm long.1
