It's not even a separate species, just an octopus with a birth defect.

not to mention that the plural of octopus is not octopi, it?s octopodes or octopuses

The octopus (pronounced /ˈɒktəpəs/, from Greek ὀκτάπους (oktapous), "eight-footed",[1][2] with plural forms: octopuses [ˈɒktəpʊsɪz], octopi [ˈɒktəpaɪ], or octopodes [ˌɒkˈtəʊpədiːz]
Shows what you know.

Hint: Wikipedia summaries are not where you should be getting etymologies. The correct plural is octopodes, and octopuses is common in general usage. Any good dictionary will point out that octopi is incorrect because it is not a Latin noun.

That's also not a good dictionary since it lacks octopods.
