These snails are predatory and have venomous stingers.
Nomenclature
The description of Conus conco was included in the online Supplementary Material to the article by Puillandre et al. (2014). This description was not included in the printed version of the article, and thus did not meet the requirements of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN) for electronic publications, and the name Conus conco Puillandre et al., 2014, was not a nomenclaturally available name. To meet the ICZN requirements and make the name Conus conco available, the description was published in January 2015 as a standard print part of Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution.
Description
The size of the shell attains 45 mm.
Distribution
This species occurs in the Pacific Ocean off the Marquesas Islands.
