  1. They are stunningly beautiful and intriguing animals. Every time I'm at the beach here on the eastern coast of Australia though, and I see the little children in the rockpools, my stomach flips wondering at the thought of who might pick one of these up. Posted 9 months ago

The blue-lined octopus is one of four species of highly venomous blue-ringed octopuses. It can be found in Pacific Ocean waters that stretch from Australia to Japan. It is most commonly found around intertidal rocky shores and coastal waters to a depth of 15 metres between southern Queensland and southern New South Wales.
