Shell Identification

[Corin]

Hi, I'm new here and I have this shell(below) but I don't know what it is so it would be great if someone could tell me what it is or tell me where else to post it. I think it might be a Conus Gloriamaris but I'm not sure. By the way I found it in Tanzania, Africa in the Indian Ocean.

Thanks,
bye.

This is the conus gloriamaris from the internet and I think it looks more like my shell than the olive shell.

Thanks anyway,
bye.

Only my really large hermits are out during the day; everything else comes out at night.

I think they prefer having less fish out and about when they scavenge.
