You can read more about one species, the greater blue ringed octopus, here!
Meet blue-ringed octopuses, members of the genus Hapalochlaena. They inhabit coral reefs in the Indian and Pacific oceans. Though they usually measure less than 8 inches (20. 3 cm) at their largest, keep your distance: Blue-ringed octopuses are among the world’s deadliest cephalopods. Their venomous bite can instantly paralyze, and even kill, a human. Photo: Angell Williams, CC BY 2.0, flickr https://www.instagram.com/p/CqggM3uqGEK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
