Conus ebraeus Linnaeus, 1758
Hebrew cone, 41mm
Conus
ebraeus is an
abundant intertidal reef dweller,where it lives under rocks and in depressions
in the hard reef flat. Under the periostracum, the shell is white with black
roughly rectangular markings. The black markings are less extensive than on
the similar Conus chaldaeus.
They are often found partly buried
in the thin sand coating over hard intertidal reefs.
