Conus pica is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Conidae, the cone snails and their allies.[1][2][3]
Like all species within the genus Conus, 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 marine species occurs off the Philippines, Northeast Borneo and Northeast Indonesia.
