The upper side of the seashell Conus regius

Summary

[edit]
Description

The upper side of the seashell Conus regius Gmelin, 1791[1].

Like some Conus species, Conus regius may cause accidents in humans due to the shooting of its poison dart. The first report on a clinical case involving this species was in Brazil in the year of 2009; consisted in a puncture caused in the right hand of a diver who presented paresthesia and movement difficulty in the whole limb. The manifestations disappeared after around twelve hours, without sequelae.

This species occurs in South Florida, West Indies and Brazil, in moderately deep water.
