That's a blue-ringed octopus.

The multi-coloured coral it's crawling across?

That's a zoanthid coral colony.

As beautiful as both creatures are (yes, coral is an animal, not a plant), both have the power to kill a human in minutes.

The zoanthid releases palytoxin when irritated - lethal within hours, sometimes minutes.

The blue-ringed octopus, despite being smaller than your hand, carries enough venom to kill 26 adults almost instantly.

Nature's funny like that. Some of the most colourful things on the planet are also the deadliest.

And they don't waste their shot.

The octopus uses just enough venom to kill - no more.

A local gym owner I spoke to did the same in his business.

He didn't try to take on the big 24/7 chains with "fitness for everyone."

He ran ads aimed only at ex-rugby players who'd let themselves go. You know... a "Get your strength back" type of campaign.

Guess what. 

It worked.

The big chains ignored it.

Meanwhile, the gym filled with ex-players. some who knew each other - and many who brought their mates.

No wasted ad spend.

No chasing the wrong crowd.

Most businesses blast the ocean, hoping something bites.

But the winners?

The winners know the exact prey... and strike where they can't defend.

Moral of the story here... 

Precision wins. 

Spray-and-pray dies.
