Conus bonfigliolii is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Conidae, the cone snails and their allies.[3]
Like all species within the genus Conus, these cone snails are predatory and venomous. They are capable of "stinging" humans, therefore live ones should be handled carefully or not at all.
