A famous and extremely variable and common species, so common that it is sold in the fish market as food. No 2 specimens are alike and almost look like different species if you put 2 specimens together.

A piscivore, so presumably dangerous; therefore, live specimens should be handled with care. The venom has been used for medical science since it is so common. Easy to collect a nice set of colours and patterns; however, like the tiger cowrie, nice colours and patterns are high in demand and, therefore, are much sought after by the cone enthusiast.
