Your lucky it was just a baby and it did not kill you. They are VERY venomous, and there is no antidote for their stings. Blue-ringed octopus are dangerous when provoked.
What a cute little thing! But yes, one of the deadliest venomous animals in the world, and it only shows the yellow and blue when it's upset as a warning that it may bite...I guess it never quite felt like it had to. So lucky!
The bite might be painless, but this octopus injects a paralysing venom. The venom contains a poison more potent than any found on land animals. The nerve conduction is blocked and paralysis is followed by death. There's no known antidote.
The senses of the patients are often intact. The victims are aware but unable to respond.
Not a pleasant way to go, fully conscious, paralyzed and slowly suffocating to death as everyone around you freaks out helplessly.
to all those calling this guy stupid, get over yourself. if hes not from Aus how was he supposed to know what it was? at least now he wont make the same mistake again.
@Chazzrat A general rule in Australia (which has millions of poisonous animals), would be not to touch anything if you don't know what it is. This guy is lucky, but it could have been a fatal mistake. So yes, he is ignorant.
Blue ring octopus have extremely venomous bites. Death from total muscle loss is almost certain. You would have been totally paralysed and suffocated to death fully conscious of the panicked cries of your friends around you. You don't know how lucky you are.
Was this video posted by your surviving family members? Coolmike could've been coldmike within half an hour. I guess you didn't make the ID, otherwise this is attempted suicide.

Lesson of the day; Don't touch animals if you don't know what they are, or it could be the last thing you touch.

@soulspectre100 even a small baby like this would be this lethal?

@sthral Absolutely. More often than not, baby poisonous critters are FAR more toxic than their matured counterparts.
