Conasprella perplexa is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Conidae, the cone snails and their allies.
Like all species within the genus Conasprella, these snails are predatory and venomous. They are capable of "stinging" humans, therefore live ones should be handled carefully or not at all.
Description
The size of the shell varies between 15 mm and 30 mm.
Distribution
This marine species occurs off Baja California, Mexico to Peru; and off the Galápagos Islands.
