Grammatically speaking, the plural for octopus is octopuses . As the Merriam-Webster dictionary points out, people use three different terms, however: octopi, octopuses, and octopodes. While “octopi” has become popular in modern usage, it’s wrong.
Britannica disagrees. octopus /ˈɑːktəˌpʊs/ noun
plural octopuses or octopi /-ˌpaɪ/ /ˈɑːktəˌpaɪ/
