description Hapalochlaena nierstraszi Overview
Hapalochlaena nierstraszi is a venomous octopus in the blue-ringed octopus genus Hapalochlaena. It was described from the Bay of Bengal and has been reported from the Bay of Bengal along the Chennai coast of India. The species is poorly represented in general-audience references compared with the better-known blue-ringed octopuses, so records and identification are primarily of interest to cephalopod taxonomists and marine biologists. Like other Hapalochlaena, it should be treated as a medically significant marine animal.
