Like all species within the genus Conasprella, these snails are predatory and venomous. They are capable of "stinging" humans, therefore live ones should be handled carefully or not at all.
The normal length of this marine species is between 15 and 25 mm. The body whorl is conical in shape. The spire is low, concave in profil. Sutural ramps are flat in cross section. The protoconch is relatively swollen and brown colored.[2]
