Blue ringed octopus is extremely venomous and their beak is so sharp you might not even feel it when it bites

Wiki

The blue-ringed octopus, despite its small size, carries enough venom to kill 26 adult humans within minutes. Their bites are tiny and often painless, with many victims not realizing they have been envenomated until respiratory depression and paralysis begins.[12] No blue-ringed octopus antivenom is available.[13]

But how bitey is it? Why would it even want to bite? What if I'm very very gentle?

If it's cornered it will bite. First it will flee (can't), then it will show the rings you can see in the picture to warn predators. If it does that and you still touch it, or worse, pick it up, it will bite.

What if I put my hand in its path and it climbs on? And if I keep my hand flat so it can leave at will? Maybe I should put a snack on my palm!

Only one way to find out!

I do not recommend putting snack, might encourage biting XD
