Conus sponsalis
Hi there. Yes, it is Conus sponsalis and the bluish colour and small brown dots identify it as form nanus. According to Rockel, Korn & Kohn specimens from Hawaii and S.E.Polynesia consistently occur in this form. Incidentally, some authors consider nanus to be a true species but intergrades are known.
