I have just acquired a full reef set up and this snail is among the live stock.
I have looked in my books and what have you and cant make the decision on it.
I would rather Try and identify the thin9199g before it goes to the big freeze,(labeled as a conus geographus by me)and so very dangerous indeed acording to the books9198

Agreed, nice little conch. Apparently it's very very very rare to get cone snails as hitchers.
