Blue Ringed Octopus

A very beautiful blue ringed octopus at Lembeh Strait, north Sulawesi, Indonesia. As often underwater, beauty come with some attached danger. This is one of the most poisonous animals in the world. One adult blue ringed octopus has enough poison to kill 26 humans (if they are stupid enough to touch him).

It pretty much says "Don't mess with me" on every spot of its body.

Nice shot.
