Hi unicornis
I personally have never kept one. But I do know a few people who have. They are a small species that can hide alot and unless it is stressed or a threat is present they remain a brown color most of the time. This species is also very short lived in captivity. The other reason you might want to consider a different species to keep is venom. Their bite is deadly and can kill you with litte time to get help. To get a better idea of the whole blue ring situation check out this article written by Dr Roy Caldwell who studies them.

As far as food goes, they eat most things other octopuses eat, crabs, shrimp.... Do a search in this forum on blue rings, lots of threads on this subject.
