Conus hyaena, common name the hyena cone, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Conidae, the cone snails and their allies.[2]

These snails are predatory and venomous. They are capable of "stinging" humans, therefore live ones should be handled carefully or not at all.

Distribution

This species occurs in the Indian Ocean off Madagascar, in the Bay of Bengal, and in the Pacific Ocean off the Philippines and Indonesia; in the South China Sea.
