Conus biancae, common name Bianca's cone, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Conidae, the cone snails and their allies.[2][3]
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.
