Octopi have a large repertoire of clor changes, dots, blushes, and traveling bars that move across their surfaces; this ability in combination with the soft-bodied physique of the creature allows it to obscure and reveal its linguistic intent simply by rapidly folding and unfolding different parts of its body.
Indeed, their well-known use of "ink" clouds to conceal themselves may indicate that this is the only way that they can have anything like a private thought.

The big pacific octopi up in the Puget Sound area seem to live longer, but I doubt that any of us are likely to set up a tank for a 125+ pound octopus.
Also, some of the octopi I've seen for sale appear to be temperate octopi, and being kept at room temperature may shorten their life- span still more.
Most octopi aren't, probably because most cephalotoxins are pretty weak and not so useful for defense (all octopi are poisonous, but generally the toxin has no effect on humans), but apparently blue-rings are quite aware of the effectiveness of their bite and will use it readily.

Since then, they have slacked their way through being a recording and performing group, sporadically producing murky and obfuscatious material when threatened.

 AskOxford: What are the plurals of 'octopus', 'hippopotamus', 'syllabus'?
English words of Latin or Greek origin have rather unpredictable plurals, and each one usually depends on how well established that particular word is. It may also depend on whether the Latin or Greek form of the plural is either easily recognizable or pleasant to the speaker of English.
Although it is often supposed that octopi is the 'correct' plural of octopus, and it has been in use for longer than the usual Anglicized plural octopuses, it in fact originates as an error.
Like octopi, the plural hippopotami is now generally taken to be either funny or absurdly pedantic, and the usual plural is hippopotamuses.
