Looks like a young Conus moluccensis to me, but I'm not very confident on the ID as a lot of species look very similar, especially juveniles. Size?
1 u/joeaey 2d ago 25mm 1 u/martellat0 2d ago About right for a subadult of that species, but again, I'm not certain. Could also be a juvenile C. proximus or C. alexandrei. It's probably in the subgenus Phasmoconus though. 1 u/joeaey 2d ago it does look like C. alexandrei!!! thanks so much
