Got bitten by one when I was about 10 down at Augusta collecting cockles at the dead water, they reckon it didn’t inject much venom, but it hurt like you wouldn’t believe. Had to stay in hospital for a day or 2.

Found them in various items
Old shells, empty cans and bottles from Rocko beach upto Coral bay. Awesome colours.
Old fishermen never die they just smell that way.
