Conus queenslandis is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Conidae, the cone snails and their allies.[1][2]
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.
Taxonomic relation
Conus queenslandis was originally named as a subspecies of Conus tribblei Walls, 1977 but has been recognized as a valid species, alternative representation in the genus Kioconus.
