Conus Cedonulli
''Conus cedonulli'' is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family (biology), family Conidae, the Conus, cone snails and their allies. 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. Being a very varied species-complex, there has been much confusion in the course of years about which species and subspecies to assign to the ''Conus cedonulli''-complex, hence the number of synonyms named. In 1985, D.L.N. Vink proposed assigning the following species to the ''Conus cedonulli''-complex along with ''Conus cedonulli'' : * ''Conus aurantius'' Hwass in Bruguière, 1792 * ''Conus insularis'' Gmelin, 1791 : considered by Vink to be a synonym of ''Conus aurantius'' Hwass in Bruguière, 1792 * ''Conus mappa'' sensu Lightfoot, 1786 * ''Conus sanctaemarthae'' spec. nov. : now synonym of ''Conus mappa'' sensu Lightfoot, 1786 The fo ...

Conidae
Conidae, with the current common name of "cone snails", is a taxonomic family (previously subfamily) of predatory sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the superfamily Conoidea. The 2014 classification of the superfamily Conoidea, groups only cone snails in the family Conidae. Some previous classifications grouped the cone snails in a subfamily, Coninae. As of March 2015 Conidae contained over 800 recognized species. Working in 18th-century Europe, Carl Linnaeus knew of only 30 species that are still considered valid. The snails within this family are sophisticated predatory animals. They hunt and immobilize prey using a modified radular tooth along with a venom gland containing neurotoxins; the tooth is launched out of the snail's mouth in a harpoon-like action. Because all cone snails are venomous and capable of "stinging" humans, live ones should be handled with great care or preferably not at all.
