Blue sea dragons have recently been spotted in Keelung's intertidal zone. Blue sea dragons should only be seen; they are extremely dangerous, and touching them should be avoided, as the National Museum of Marine Science and Technology specifically pointed out.

According to the National Museum of Marine Science and Technology, Taiwan is a subtropical region, and blue sea dragons are primarily found in tropical regions. In addition to being spotted in Changtanli waters in 2013, they were initially found in Xiaoliuqiu in 2012. The Blue Sea Dragons have been spotted in northern seas of Taiwan for the first time this year, in 2023.

The public is reminded by the National Museum of Marine Science and Technology that blue sea dragons are extremely hazardous even though they are just 2 to 5 centimeters in length. The venom specifically affects how the heart and neurological system work. Burning pain from the wound may be accompanied by headaches, disorientation, and other symptoms. In severe situations, it may be lethal. Never touch it at random.
