I don't think they're dangerous. They're not like cone snails. Am I missing something? Also, I still don't want to play with one, but that's because I don't think they would like it.
Cone Snails are the venomous type of sea snail in the genus Conidae, with a radular tooth that injects neurotoxic venom. Conch snails are from Strombidae and are not poisonous, being primarily herbivorous.
However, the Giant Triton Conch snail is an exception and is an active predator that eats starfish and other marine invertebrates.

I mean, not that forbidden, they're plenty edible. The article even briefly mentions them being used as empanada filling.

As long as you’re not a Crown of Thrones starfish, you should be fine.

They just look annoyed you tipped their houses up on end, and now they have to tip it back down without any arms, legs, and just one foot!
