Conus sulcocastaneus Kosuge, 1981
Sulcocastaneus cone, 50mm

Conus sulcocastaneus is moderately rare in the Marshalls, although it is probably more common in deeper water. We have not seen a living specimen, but there must be something down there that knows how to find them. We have found a fair number of empty, usually broken shells in rubble piles beneath overhangs and ledges at depths of about 60m on the seaward reef slope.
