Conus coelinae, common name Celine's cone, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Conidae, the cone snails and their allies. [2]
Like all species within the genus Conus, these snails are predatory and venomous. They are capable of "stinging" humans,[ citation needed] therefore live ones should be handled carefully or not at all.
The former subspecies Conus coelinae spiceri Bartsch & Rehder, 1943 has been elevated to the status of genus Conus spiceri Bartsch & Rehder, 1943
The size of the shell varies between 55 mm and 128 mm.
