And "octopuses" is the correct plural for octopus. The often-seen "octopi" is a "false Latin plural" - people think "octopus" sounds Latin so they follow Latin pluralization rules, but the word is actually from Greek, so if you want to get all ancient on it, the plural would be "octopodes" (that's a four-syllable word), not "octopi," but in English we're not getting that crazy and "octopuses" is correct.
