Freediver Jules Casey was lucky to spot an unusual sight across three evenings, when a blue-ringed octopus was seen protecting its eggs on the sea floor near Port Phillip, Victoria.

Casey said it was a sight “rarely found”.

The blue-ringed octopus is “distinctive and venomous” and commonly found in the Pacific and Indian oceans. Credit: onebreathdiver via Storyful
