They are dirty little buggers. Hard to keep the tank clean for such a small critter.

These quotes are from wikipedia
"They are currently recognized as one of the world's most venomous animals."
"The blue-ringed octopus is the size of a golf ball, but its venom is powerful enough to kill humans. There is no known antidote."
"Despite its small size, the blue-ringed octopus carries enough poison to kill 26 adult humans within minutes[5]."

The bite might be painless, but this octopus injects a neuromuscular paralysing venom. The venom contains some maculotoxin, a poison more violent than any found on land animals. The nerve conduction is blocked and neuromuscular paralysis is followed by death. The victim might be saved if artificial respiration starts before marked cyanosis and hypotension develops. The blue-ringed octopus is the size of a golf ball but its poison is powerful enough to kill an adult human in minutes. There's no known antidote. The only treatment is hours of heart massage and artificial respiration until the poison has worked its way out of your system.

on the front counter in an 8 gallon Bio Cube, I am working to get her hand feeding. They are not very aggressive. She typically comes out at dawn/dusk if at all. Here eye and tenticle is visible in the hole she found in the foam.
