The blue ringed octopus lives in the region highlighted purple to the left. It is most commonly found off the coast of Australia on the Great Barrier Reef. They have been found in the waters North of Japan however sightings in this area are much more rare.
The habitat that they most commonly live in is the shallow areas near the Great Barrier Reef. They generally live in reefs, rubble, tide pools, crevices and occasionally sandy bottoms. Blue ringed octopus are hard to find because they like to hide in these crevices to provide a shelter. This is especially true when the female is protecting her eggs. (Tranter, 1973)
These organisms are extremely hard to spot due to their camouflaging capabilities and their hiding tendencies. Since they are the size of a golf ball they can fit in many small crevices and blend in with their environment very well.
It is most active after dark and spends most of the day hidden from predators.
