They can be identified by their characteristic blue and black rings, and yellowish skin. When the octopus is agitated, the brown patches darken dramatically, iridescent blue rings, or clumps of rings, appear and pulsate within the maculae. Typically, 50–60 blue rings cover the dorsal and lateral surfaces of the mantle. They hunt small crabs, hermit crabs, and shrimp.

  • Blue-ringed octopuses (genus Venomous casanovara), which comprise three (or perhaps less) known Octopus species, might be cute and cuddly if not for their high toxicity and touchy attitude toward being down trodden. When squashed under foot, these creatures retaliate by zapping innocent seabed strollers, usually either killing them or making them wish they were dead.

Native Australians, Blue-ringed octopuses prefer to dominate their habitat. The creatures are not very well-liked in their home country, although in Saudi Arabia they have been popularized as trendy pets by the Arabic Television program, Mecca Vice. They are so toxic that even a giant killer whale is afraid to set foot on one of them.
