Conus zandbergeni is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Conidae, the cone snails and their allies.[1][2]
Like all species within the genus Conus, these snails are predatory and venomous. They are capable of "stinging" humans, therefore live ones should be handled carefully or not at all.
The size of the shell varies between 25 mm and 42 mm.
This marine species occurs in the Indo-Pacific and is found in the Philippines, Indonesia, and the Solomon Islands.

Conus zandbergeni is een in zee levende slakkensoort uit het geslacht Conus. De slak behoort tot de familie Conidae. Conus zandbergeni werd in 2010 beschreven door Filmer & Moolenbeek.[1] Net zoals alle soorten binnen het geslacht Conus zijn deze slakken roofzuchtig en giftig. Zij bezitten een harpoenachtige structuur waarmee ze hun prooi kunnen steken en verlammen.
