It's hard to predict the exact impact of any one species extinction. When the ecosystem is disrupted enough, it will collapse and do so quite rapidly. Will the loss of the octopus trigger the collapse? You just never know. At the very least, the people who like to eat, look at, or sell octopus will be effected.

Can a blue ringed octopus kill a whale?

No, a blue-ringed octopus cannot kill a whale. Blue-ringed octopuses are small, venomous creatures that primarily prey on small fish and crustaceans. Their venom is potent enough to kill a human, but it is not powerful enough to take down a large marine mammal like a whale. Whales are much larger and have thick blubber that would provide protection against the octopus's venom.

Techincally speaking, octopi do not sting - they bite. And the one you would be thinking of is the small Blue-Ringed Octopus, found from Japan to New Zealand (but they are most commonly found in coastal regions of Southern Australia). Point of interest - all octopi have a venomous bite, but only the Blue-Ringed octopi's bite is fatal to humans.
