I'm sad, the only thing I have ever gotten with LR is bristle worms
But on the brighter side the only thing I ever got with LR is bristle worms
I could have gotten a mantis shrimp
I did get some tiny brittle stars with some grape culerpa algae.

i think theyre saying "blue ringed octopus are very venomous and will kill you if you get bit. call animal control immediately." as in call them now so you dont DIE.

A got a sweet little group of 3 1/2" mollusks on some of my LR. They were fun to watch filter and close up, but have since moved or been moved to an area unknown to me. Not nearly as exciting as some other hitchers here.

I have actually had a blue ring octopus before the U.S. put a stop on importing them. Most are deadly some are not depending where you got the rock, but they hard to tell apart from the non venomous species, not matter what dont take a chance, there still deadly and have a short life span (6 months). The toxin is called tetrodotoxin poisoning can result in the victim being fully aware of his/her surrounds but unable to breathe. Paralysis that occurs they have no way of signalling for help or any way of indicating distress. So your dead in 10-15 minutes. I know showing my inter "nerd"
