These octopus look very beautiful with about 60 blue spots on the body.When agitated or angry, these green spots will change color and shine, attracting attention and vigilance of marine and human animals.
The poison in the big blue-spotted octopus is mostly tetrodotoxin (TTX), one of the five most powerful natural poisons in the world .This neurotoxin may exist at high temperatures when cooked or after death.
The TTX is 1,200 times stronger than the cyanide neurotoxin, 50 times the poison of a cobra, which can kill people with a very small amount of substance.
