Conus roeckeli 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 Conus, these 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 13 mm and 23 mm. Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.
Distribution
This species occurs in the Atlantic Ocean off the Cape Verdes. It is known only from Boavista Island, Cape Verde, between 3 and 12 m. It is at high risk of extinction due to the limited distribution. [1]
