The southern blue ringed octopus (Hapalochlaena maculosa) is an agile carnivorous predator. It will lure victim prey by wiggling the tip of an arm like a worm; or gliding nearby and pouncing and dragging prey towards its powerful beak-like jaws. Once bitten, the octopus injects it’s prey with poisonous saliva to kill it. This octopus produces venom that contains tetrodotoxin, 5-hydroxytryptamine, hyaluronidase, tyramine, histamine, tryptamine, octopamine,taurine, acetylcholine, and dopamine! #blueringoctopus. #bluering #octopus #cephalopod #predator #oceanimaging
