Octopuses is more correct than octopi. I found the following at www.dictionary.com:“1758, genus name of a type of eight-armed cephalopod mollusks, from Greek oktopous, literally “eight-footed,” from okto “eight” (see eight ) + pous “foot” (see foot (n.)). Proper plural is octopodes, though octopuses probably works better in English. Octopi is from mistaken assumption that -us in this word is the Latin noun ending that takes -i in plural."

I looked it up. . it can be octopuses OR octopi. Both are correct.
But as my daughter said when she was three, . . “Octo-pie? Yuck!”
