	First leaflet on the Coniden snails (Conidae) Translation: These snail shells have a conical shape, are very different in shape, pattern and colors. They are all carnivores. They live in shallow seas in zones with cliffs and reefs. Many of these snails are poisonous and deadly (killer coniden snails, also called "Conos asesinos").
	General leaflet on the Coniden snails (Conidae)
<The sea snails with conical snail shells have a small opening at the base of the snail shell. They live in the tropics under rocks, in crevices and in coral reefs, along the stone coasts and in sheltered stone bays. They all have a small sting that works like an injection needle. This allows them to spread a fast-acting, heavy poison (conotoxin). The consequences are stabbing pain, sweating, paralysis, and in a few hours even death may occur. It is important to avoid any contact with living Conus sea snails.>
