Live Footage Of Most Deadly Blue Ringed Octopus

Live underwater footage of most deadly "Blue Ringed Octopus".
Along with perfect camouflage to surroundings, these creatures react to a danger by flashing bright blue colour rings on their skin, while skin changing the colour itself to blend to the surface. It is fascinating to watch them while they are on the move hunting, very hard to spot, typical size is less than 2 inches.

Ya know, when a blue ringed octopus flashes it's rings, it's feeling threatened. Be careful. Good Video!

[@beyondthewatersurface]

I do. Thanks.

Beyond The Water Surface I just discovered your channel tonight and this is my third video. I am so in love with your channel. You do a great job. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@beyondthewatersurface]

thank you! sorry if I did not reply to all comments, KZbin has another major issue with delivering comments in Studio and KZbin mobile apps... I just released over 10 held ones... If you didn't get the answer, please, ask your questions again.

Awesome!...he lit up like a Vegas sign...almost an ultra-violet, absolutely gorgeous!

[@kristinabergie4512]

It's amazing how well the rings show up underwater. They almost glow supernaturally. Were you aware of how poisonous they are though? You gotta keep a safe distance. They're typically not aggressive but never touch them.

[@beyondthewatersurface]

+Kristina Bergie yes, thank you! I am aware how deadly these creatures are :) I red that there is still no cure found for their venom.

[@kristinabergie4512]

Not that we know of. Not that it would matter, you probably would die before they could get you to an antivenom even if one existed. Excellent camera work btw.

[@beyondthewatersurface]

Kristina Bergie timing, especially underwater always an issue! :) and... thank you, I tried hard to stay close without disturbing the octopus and touching corals.

Beautiful clarity

[@beyondthewatersurface]

thanks, took several attempts to record this creature, camera just refused to focus

[@dianegolinski541]

Beyond The Water Surface it was awesome and I enjoyed watching thank you ;)

[@midnight873]

thank you for such an amazing video!

[@UBCForce]

Beautiful little creature! Especially from 1:20 to the very end of the video! Standing still as a part of the coral

[@Rsaulus]

awesome video! nature is so cool

[@jamesharris2525]

Great vid, where was it shot?

[@charlesleflamand]

nice footage

[@beyondthewatersurface]

+Karel Mestdagh thanks, it was hard to film them, they all are about a finger size and blend well to the surface, my camera was loosing the focus all the time... i should use fixed focus next time...

[@charlesleflamand]

Yeah fixed focus is a good idea, I had the same problem with one of those little buggers in Bali :)

[@Boostedtypist]

It looks like a video game tbh

[@kaylakrawczyk6675]

Can it use camoflauge or just its rings changing

[@beyondthewatersurface]

what i've seen, some of them shows rings permanently, increasing or decreasing their colours, when they got threaten, that's the females, the males blend completely to the surface as the rest of octopus species and only show rings under stress or excitement. to your question, yes, they all can change skin tone, they practically invisible on a reef without movement... it is very rare trophy to meet blue ringed octopus, usually there are 2-3 guides are searching for them within a group of divers, still with a very small percent of success finding them...

[@Boostedtypist]

This animal is going to be the topic of my presentation at school

[@Bobshouse]

Ever see one attack?

[@beyondthewatersurface]

Animals? Never! But I see Google abusing peoples content every week.

[@mhizzslimz7289]

I didnt kno tht octopuses have venom? I kno ppl does eat dem n sea cat

[@katiekat4457]

mhizz slimz when they bite their pray venom gets injected to paralyze the prey. This octopus is very much more venomous.
