Description
Conus allaryi is a species of predatory sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Conidae, the cone snails. The shell is characterized by its conical shape, moderately elevated spire, and distinctive color pattern. It typically features a creamy white or pale yellowish background adorned with irregular, longitudinal streaks and blotches of reddish-brown or orange-brown, which can appear as flamed patterns or more discrete spots. The body whorl is smooth and tapers towards the base, and the aperture is long and narrow.
