These used to be available for sale in fish stores here in Southern California - wonder how many owners died cleaning their tanks with these guys.

[witchman1]

Oh dear.

I love watching octopuss (plural of octopus??) they are so amazing. it's hypnotizing.

[LetsxMakexThisxOurs]

octipi, i think?

[me700gnomes]

octopussen

[ww2fan5]

amazing!

[Yourdeadmeat69]

One of these little beauties played an important role in both a James Bond movie in the 80's and a Naked Gun flick in the nineties,

But finding them in the wild? I hope everybody went out that night and treated themselves to their favorite meal, they earned it!!!

[satrinux]

Pretty animal really. Nature is amazing.

[merishane]

Wow thats cool!

[charlonefox]

wow cool

[jedah998]

@ephedradiet What the hell is wrong with you? Why don't you just buy add space on t.v. and quit spamming people. I hope punished for making people think they can loose all their excess weight so they'll waste their money on your bullshit.

[MegaMelmo]

IT'S CTHULU!

Anyway, it's an awesome video, I love finding stuff in tide pools.

[despeleta]

Nice! Persistence pays off. I lived the better part of 20 years on the coast, and I could spend all day on the tide pools, flipping, fishing and poke poling for eel. Ain't gots no blue rings though! Sweet vid.

[debcoart]

Thanks for the education! Congrats on your find. Beautiful and wonderful creature is that little fellow.

[1sunbear]

Ha!! Just stumbled upon a vid. titled Bluering Octopus at Balmaral (in Sydney that is, not England). That's where I used to see them!

[1sunbear]

Favourited! Welldone!

I used to go the beach constantly as a kid and spent heaps of time around the rock pools. For some reason I only came across about 3 Blue Rings.

There was also another kind, brown in colour, which seemed a little more common.

[maarakailet1]

Love this critter!

[longgreycoat]

Wow I never knew these creatures existed! Great film and great to be educated in such an entertaining way. Thanks Bill, Andy

[StevenChandlerArtist]

very cool, do you have abalone there? we used to get abalone on the rocks when I lived in California and catch Pacific Rattlers right along the dunes, fast snakes-Great videos Bill!

[billflowers]

@StevenChandlerArtist Yeah, plenty of abalone, Tasmania is famous for it.

[z0mbiiFiles]

Awesome. I love the bit where it squeezes through the netting. :D I love how they're able to do that. I kinda want to draw it!

[billflowers]

@z0mbiiFiles Yeah! I've seen octopus do that on docos, that was the first time I've seen it in real life. It was awesome. A good way to escape from things but also a great way to chase prey.

Something the horror movie producers should take note of.

A giant octopus could slide under a door if it had to.

[z0mbiiFiles]

Psh, they would druther make it bash through the door instead. T_T The movies are all about the sound effects now. blech

[UpstateNYPets]

Awesome! Love watching these types of vids. That Blue Ring was absolutely gorgeous! Octopuses are one of my favorites!

[BallPythonLuver]

You guys worked hard to find him lol. Awesome find!! Really beautiful color!!

[Hammersley1967]

Why does everyone pick on me?

I'm a paraplegic in a wheelchair...

[SAsgarters]

Beautiful animal. :)

Didn't I see that one in a Bond movie?

[MrCirrhosis]

Wow Bill! That thing is beautiful! I heard of those once before in a fiction book, where a terrorist group was using one to kill people. Haha. A book by the same person who wrote Jurrasic Park ;p

[billflowers]

@MrCirrhosis A youtuber that actually reads books, I'm impressed! ;-)E

[MrCirrhosis]

- Haha, I've always read lots of books. About 60 a year or so. Mostly fiction though. ;(

I love the recent videos!

[MoviesMusicNature]

Beautiful blue ring octopus! This is the first time I have seen one before. Thanks for bringing it to our attention and sharing it with us..

[TJsHerps]

[TheBigCheezeIt]
