Conus aemulus, common name Amber marbled cone snail is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Conidae, the cone snails and their allies.[1]

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.

The size of the shell varies between 20 mm and 58 mm.

Distribution

This species occurs in the Atlantic Ocean off West Africa and Angola.
