RE: Cone Shell ID need help quick
Hi.  Not a cone shell, but a volute.  This is Cymbiola vespertilio, the "bat volute", from the Indo-Pacific region. This is an extremely variable species, in color, pattern, and shape. It is also the commonest volute species. You can see a few of the many variations here: http://www.gastropods.com/7/Shell_7.shtml
