Conus andremenezi is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Conidae, the cone snails and their allies.[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.

Description

The size of the shell varies between 25 mm and 55 mm.

Distribution

This marine species occurs off the Philippines and New Caledonia.
