Product Description
Blue-ringed octopuses, are a highly venomous species of Octopus that are found in tide pools and coral reefs from Japan to Australia
They can be identified by their yellowish skin and characteristic blue and black rings that change colour dramtically when the animal is threatened. They eat small crustaceans and other small animals.
They are recognized as one of the world's most venomous marine animals Despite their small size—12 to 20 cm (5 to 8 in)—and relatively docile nature, they are dangerous to humans if provoked when handled because their venom contains the powerful neurotoxin Tetrodotoxin.
The species tend to have a lifespan of approximately two years. This can vary depending on factors such as nutrition, temperature and the intensity of light in its habitat.
