It is octopodes. It's Greek and it follows the Greek pluralisation convention.

Why is octopi correct? Based on what?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Octopuses is correct if you're referring to many different species of octopus. Octopi would be correct if you're referring to a cluster of one species of octopus.
