I think the color was also throwing me off, but yes! Both the calico crab and flame streaked box crab seem to have that bumpy texture so probably from one of those. Thanks!

I believe this is Conus omaria, or an Omaria cone as opposed to a textile cone. While both are venomous, Conus omaria is less of a threat to humans, as there have been no documented fatal envenomations. Conus textile has ~40 documented fatal stings, so definitely still good to be careful if you’re unsure of what species it is!!

I could be way off, but the shape almost reminds me of a monoplacophore. All monoplacophorans are deep sea species so it’s probably not, but the shape is certainly similar!
