mikecoscia Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Most LFS actually had a blu-ring a few months back. It was locked up in a little ziploc container floating in a larger tank with a tight fitting lid on it. Link to comment
flyingjeff Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Micheal Crichton actually used a Blue Ring as a weapon in his novel "State of Fear". Just not sure I believe it would survive long in a Zip-Loc! Link to comment

chris r Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 How about an English lesson and a typing course instead of a blue ring. After reading that last post, it seems they would be more beneficial to you. Link to comment

MolokoPlus Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Hapalochlaena or Blue Ringed Octopus actually refers to the entire genus not just one species. All species only display their "Blue Rings" when defensive or generally annoyed so most of the time your looking at a "Plain" lookin octopus. The toxin comes from its bite is actually from bacteria that live in 2 small glands and produce Tetrodotoxin which is among the most brutaly deadly Neurotoxins out there and are actually the same toxins produced by bacteria in Pufferfish species. Anyone seen the serpent and the rainbow? That was based on Clairvius Narcisse, a Hatian who was poisoned by a Hatian "Bokor" with a powder that contained Tetrodotoxin. Tetrodotoxin causes paralysis and death such complete paralysis that the body does not react to any stimuli. People have been pronounced dead as was Clairvius Narcisse who was buried then showed up a number of years later at his sisters home. That being said if it makes you happy to get one then do so. Just keep in mind what your dealing with. A Neurotoxin that can kill in 10-15min if your not put on life support before you die from lack of oxygen. And since it paralyzes voluntary muscles that might make it difficult to make it to the ER. Most proved victims dont even make it off the beach. All of the above is from what ive read over the years about tetradotoxin. Im not an expert but i believe this post is accurate. *edit here* Oh yeah heres another fun fact i forgot about. A handful of tetrodotoxin poisoning victims that survived claim to have been concious at their own pronunciation of death if that doesnt scare you enough think about being concious at your autopsy.
