Death by octopus?

Question

i was in the Caribbean and saw an octopus crawl in a hole in some rocks... anyways his tentacles were kinda hanging out (he was orangish red) and i originally was thinking of trying to pull him out of there so that we could see him?

would this have been a horrible idea? (i didnt do it) like i said i dont know what kind of octopus it was but it was kinda small, the size of a ceiling fan (small head about 2 ft long tentacles) and orangish red... also i was snorkeling not scuba

Answer 1

yeah, that would have been a bad idea..

some of them can be very poisonous and powerful too. imagine if he got mad and wrapped his 8 tenacles around you?

i've heard of people dying from octopus attacks

Answer 2

Yeah bad idea, some of them are poisonous, theyd mess you up!?!
