Conasprella henriquei is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Conidae, the cone snails and their allies.[1]
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.
