Conus textile, known as the Cloth of Gold Cone or Textile Cone, belongs to the family Conidae (cone snails). This predatory and venomous snail is widespread in the Indo-Pacific, including the Red Sea, and prefers to live in the intertidal zone of coral reefs and coasts to depths of about 50 meters. The venom of this snail, known as conotoxin, is used by it to hunt and makes it an efficient predator.
