Deadly invert What would you pick.

I really like sea urchins, i own a long spine sea urchin, but if i could i would love to own a fire urchin,then again maybe safer if i don't, i think its awesome, look at a few of these clips the crabs put them on their backs for protection...bottom vid

Just out of curiousity, what would your dangerous marine pet be?

 

i love cephs so i guess a blue ring would be neat

 

Cone snail (conus textile).

Fire urchin is definitely cool!

 

Do you mean the blue ring octopus?

 

Well, as you can tell from my signature, mantis shrimp.

Fire urchin's aren't deadly.....you just wish you could die for a couple of hours. LOL Man they hurt. I would rather kiss and electric eel.

 

yes a blue ring octopus. (Hapalochlaena lunulata)

 

One day, we were unpacking a very large shipment in our QT warehouse. It was always like Christmas to our part-timers....."OH COOL Curt, what is this????"
Well, that's a potters angel or that's a blue spot jawfish, yada, yada, yada.

Then I heard, "OH COOL....an octopus with blue spots". I said, Nick put that back in the shipping container right now and don't touch the bag again.

I was normally involved in all purchases but in this case I wasn't. I got on the phone and screamed at my partners, "How dare you bring that in without warning me that something like that is coming!!!" Both of my partners feigned innocence and said it must have been a mistake. So the next morning I called the wholesaler and asked him to fax me the order sheet....sure enough....they had ordered 6 of them.

Can you imagine the conversation? Maam, I'm terribly sorry. You 17 year old son who works part-time for minimum wage got bit by an octopus. He's going to die as there is no known antidote.

 

Wow. I didn't even know you could order those...

 

oh my god! that is insane! that would be a phone call i could deal without! out of all the octos to order of coarse they had to go with the blue ring right hahah! A mimic or a wonderpus just wouldnt suffice hahah! although not deadly...the wonderpus is a pretty sweet octo! reminds me of beatlejuice! haha
