Conus pauperculus
Conus pauperculus is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Conidae, the 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.

Description
The size of the shell varies between 20 mm and 40 mm. The thin shell is narrow. Its color is olivaceous, with a flesh-colored central band, and numerous revolving series of small chestnut spots.

Distribution
This marine species occurs off Okinawa, Japan
