Cone snails are venomous and can be fatal if handled improperly, but deaths from cone snail envenomation are rare. There is no specific data on the number of deaths caused by cone snails each year, but cases of fatalities are very uncommon. It is important to exercise caution when handling cone snails to avoid potential harm.
The shells of cone snails are shaped roughly like an ice-cream cone.

Live cone snails should be handled with care or not handled at all, as they are capable of "stinging" humans with unpleasant results. The sting of very small cones is no worse than a bee sting, but the sting of a few of the larger species of tropical cone snails can be fatal to human beings.
Although reproduction in cone snails has not been widely studied, it appears that most of these snails have separate sexes and fertilisation is internal. Egg capsules of various shapes are laid and attached to substrate. Each capsule contains a varying number of eggs. Two types of hatchlings have been described, the veligers (free-swimming larvae) and veliconcha (basically baby snails).
Some carnivorous snails are cannibalistic, while others scavenge off of dead animals. The Janthina Snails are known to feed on the Portuguese Man O' War. Other carnivorous snails prey on crustaceans, fish, and other invertebrates.

The conus or cone snail is a sea snail. Sea snails live in the ocean and cannot survive out of water like garden snails. These snails are predators and are equipped with painful poisonous stings. There are reports of people dying after being attacked, but it usually only causes severe pain.
