CONIDAE (Cones)
Conus gloriamaris |
This family is also one of the most prized among collectors because the members are visually stunning. Conus gloriamaris and Cypraea aurantium (Golden Cowrie) have been the centerpiece's of all collections in the past and a specimen of Conus gloriamaris is still a valuable part of any collection.
Most members live in tropical and temperate locations from the intertidal zone to hundreds of metres deep. They range in size from 6mm - 230mm. There are approximately 400 members of this family but the variations within different species are numerous resulting in almost 1,500 names being catalogued in the past. New species are still being discovered.
Some members of this family are dangerous and should be handled carefully because they have a poisonous sting when alive.
