For some reason, on many recent swims I’ve seen a variety of cones in the water. Cones are marine snails and many have a venomous sting, which can be dangerous to humans, though not likely fatal.
The Hebrew Cone gets its name from its distinctive markings, which supposedly bear something of a resemblance to Hebrew letters. It’s quite common here, though this was the first one I’ve seen. Apparently, the largest Hebrew Cones are found in Hawaii, though that only means a length of around 2.5 inches, which this one might have been close to.

It has lovely marking, not a fish but lovely anyway.

I’ve liked seeing the cones, something different and pretty interesting when I read up about them

Nice colours and markings but I couldn’t say if the ‘lettering’ looks like Hebrew.

I couldn’t say either, but that’s what my book says!

Do they? I’ve only ever seen the shells.
Have you given up on me, Graham? You haven’t been around in a while. Sorry to be cheeky if you’re just too busy.
