Conasprella stocki is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Conidae, the cone snails and their allies.[1]

Like all species within the genus Conasprella, these cone snails are predatory and venomous. They are capable of "stinging" humans, therefore live ones should be handled carefully or not at all.

Description

The size of the shell varies between 26 mm and 45 mm. Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.

Distribution

This marine species occurs from the Gulf of Oman to Pakistan.
