Conus vicweei

Conus vicweei, common name the Vic Wee's cone, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Conidae, the cone snails and their allies.

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.

Distribution
This marine species occurs off Burma, in the Strait of Malacca, off India in the Lakshadweep Sea, and off Indonesia. It is a deep water species that occurs at depths of 70 m to 200 m.
