Feeding in general:

Some marine organisms are cannibalistic as juveniles.
It is tough to raise them if they keep eating each other.

I would segregate and count a few to see if they do indeed become cannibalistic.

Back to the main question...
What do Veliger Conus bengalensis eat?
For that matter what does the adult prefer?

Help!
Friends in Thailand have succeeded in having Conus bengalensis lay eggs, which
the mother is now guarding and the embryos are visible in the egg capsules. The
question is what to do once the eggs hatch to assure the little cones will grow
and prosper. Any ideas are most welcome.
