Conasprella coriolisi is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Conidae, the cone snails and their allies.^[1]^[2]

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.

Description

The size of the shell varies between 40 mm and 53 mm.

Distribution

This marine species occurs off New Caledonia, Vanuatu and in the Coral Sea at depths between 150 m and 550 m.
