Blue Ringed Octopus (Hapalochlaena fasciata)

You most likely have heard about these, or seen pictures and thought WOW! You can usually only see these in Sydney dives at night. So well camouflaged and oh so pretty. They carry enough venom to be lethal, but like most marine life, they only strike in self-defense. Give them their space, and they’ll show you their blue rings and it will be something you never forget.
