1 bite can kill ... but then how do morays eat this fella then?

curious.

The morays probably have an anti-venom that counters the toxins of the blue-ring occy.

Photosmart, any images of Moray eating Blue-Ring Octopus?

It is actually the way, orientation how the moral "eats" swallows it. Similar to how a moray eats a scorpion fish. The toxicity of the blue ring is at it's "beaks"
