Cone snail?

I work maintaining a reef tank at my job and am not always present when new animals are brought in. I came in today and this new snail was in the tank and so far no one has any information for us. The store has sold us animals they shouldn't have previously and so I was worried this guy might be a venomous cone snail. Is there any way i can tell? The shell shape seems like a cone snail but i cant find any pictures that look just right. Any input would be great! thanks

Cone shells have a very distinctive shape. Once you see one, you'll know what you have. Obviously if you it might be a cone snail you should should not handle it with you hands. Personally, I'd have the LFS come and remove it, if you are in doubt.
