About Conus arenatus Hwass, 1792
Conus arenatus Hwass, 1792 has a shell that ranges in size between 25 mm and 90 mm. The shell is stoutly turbinated, with a coronated spire. It is primarily white, covered in small, closely spaced brown dots arranged in a wavy longitudinal pattern; these dots sometimes form indistinct bands. The aperture of the shell is usually a light flesh color. This is a marine species that is native to the Red Sea and the Indo-Pacific region, and it can also be found off the coasts of Australia's Northern Territory, Queensland, and Western Australia. It has also invaded and established a population in the Mediterranean off Israel, moving there as a Lessepsian migrant through the Suez Canal.
