Just a potential noob wanting some info for future reference. Is it possible/legal to keep blue ringed octopus? Just wondering. How big of a tank would they need since they're small? And how hardy are they? If anyone knows. Thanks in advance.

they are legal to my knowledge.... poisonous and not very hardy... most octopus dont need large space they like confined areas to feel safe... best damn escape artists in the world..
I've seen them at my LFS. Stupid thing to sell, IMO. Great way to kill a significant other though... "Hey honey, comme pet my new octopus--he's friendly, don't worry! Uh... officer, I told her not to touch it..."
I also have one the size of my calf, tattoed on my leg.

No need to get a blue ring octopus, there are other small and even colorful octopus that don't kill their owners. There is a small octopus from the Caribbean area that is really nice in an aquarium. Remember octopus are very short lived. Very few species live longer than a year, some for just a few months so if you want to spend much money on an animal that will not live more than a year no matter what you do.........
