Conus terryni is an accepted species[3] 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, therefore live C. terryni should be handled carefully or not at all.
