Conus striatellus Link, 1807
Striatellus cone,
42.65mm
This
species is similar to Conus
planorbis and could be a variation, but the few specimens we have seen
have more bulbous shells and rounded shoulders. Both species have bright yellow
animals, but that of C. planorbis has more black spots and blotches.
Our specimens have been found in lagoon Halimeda patches at depths
of 6-10m.
