Blue ring octopus

[Imbarrie]

That was the coolest octopus I ever saw.
I thought I was careless whenever I put my hand in my tank with a lionfish in it. This is on another level.

The octopus that AW got in is the Blue Optopus from Indo (Octopus Cyanea). The poisonous Blue Ring is ( Hapalochlaena maculosa) from Australia. Whats neat about the Blue Octopus is it also known as the "Day Octopus" since it feeds during the day and and is usually moving around

Venomous ... Not poisonous

Blue ring = venomous

Dart frog = poisonous

Good point

I went to AV earlier today and I forgot to look for the Blue Ring .

 

[neptune]

can he go into a reef or does he need his own tank...

 

[Imbarrie]

He is reef safe. Just not fish or invert safe.
