I am not sure about this one but the Marbled Cone Snail is poisonous as hell! It is the 7th most poisonous creature on earth (that means more poisonous than most snakes, spiders and scorpions)
Quote from ... ( 4 months ago by gandalf117)
Quote from wikipedia:
"The sting of many of the smaller cone species may be no worse than that of a bee or hornet sting, but in the case of a few of the larger tropical species, handling the snail can have fatal consequences. About 30 human deaths have been recorded from cone snail envenomation."
Therefore try to avoid touching these mother fuckers! No anti-venom!
