Very pretty, but don't touch.  This little guy is closely related to the blue ring octopus (note the blue ring in the red patch just below the siphon).  It is just about as poisonous as its cousin.

Sorry, have gone through a rough spell and couldn't post for quite a while.  Things much better now.

Plus PZ has gotten into spiders lately, raising lots of little baby ones for some study he is doing, and hasn't posted much on cepalopods lately.  But today, WOOT!  A new posting.

(sorry, picture is part of a Facebook post and not sure how to show here, so here is PZ's post)

Dang...I always got the impression the little vampires were about a foot long.  Wrong!  Just a few inches.

It may reach a foot, max. Poor guy though.
