        The Tesselate Cone is another shellfish of the sea. It stays in places with pools at the edge of the reef. Sometimes you find them in the green seagrass when they are crawling there. The colour of the Tesselate Cone is red and white stripes. Its end is a bit sharp. This shellfish is cooked with its shell. It is cooked in saltwater, not in fresh water. When it is done, you pull out its flesh. That's the part that is eaten. Sometimes they cook the flesh of the Tesselate Cone with a pot of greens.
