Blue-Ringed Octopus

(genus Hapalochlaena)

The Blue-Ringed octopus live in whirl pools and coral reefs in the Pacific and Indian oceans. Known as the most venomous marine animals.The normally brown patches on them darken the rings around them turn a vibrant blue giving warning that they are very dangerous.Typically 50-60 blue rings cover the octopus. Normally they hunt crabs and shrimp. I chose the blue ringed octopus because i think it is really cool that they are able to change colors and i love octopus'.
