The crown cone is a sea snail that lives in warm western Atlantic waters. It is a predator, and its sting can injure or kill people, so it is one to treat with great care. It is known to science for its unusually complex venom.1

Its venom contains a conotoxin called reg2a, which is made of 16 amino acids. It is the most potent known blocker of acetylcholine receptors in the vertebrate brain, a receptor type with a very high affinity for nicotine. The venom also blocks calcium receptors in sensory nerve cells, which stops nerve impulses from travelling along the nerve.1

The crown cone is capable of stinging and injuring or killing humans. Live snails should be handled carefully or not at all.1
