Conus generalis common name is the general cone. Conus Generalis are species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Conidae. These snails are predatory and venomous

The size of an adult generalis shell varies between 1 3/4 to a little more than 4 inches. Their thick, broad spire is rather plane, with a characteristic, small, acuminate (tapering to a slender point), raised apex. The color of the shell is orange-brown to chocolate, irregularly white-banded at the shoulder, in the middle, and at the base. These two or three bands are overlaid with zigzag or irregular chocolate-colored markings. The aperture is white.

Conus Generalis dwell in various shallow substrates in the Red Sea, in the Indian Ocean off Madagascar, Mauritius and Tanzania; in the Indo-West Pacific off Indonesia and the Philippines and from Northwest Australia to French Polynesia and the Ryukyu Islands; in the Central Indian Ocean along the Maldives.
