The correct plural is Octopi if one wishes to be pedantic. Second declension masculine Latin noun. Declines as follows (declension order is nominative, accusative, genitive, dative and ablative singular, then the same case order for plural):

Octopus
Octopum
Octopi
Octopo
Ocotpo

Octopi
Octopos
Octoporum
Octopis
Octopis

There endeth your lesson for today. Tomorrow, we cover third declension nouns.
