Surprisingly, an octopus has neither legs nor tentacles. It has arms, which have suction cups on the underside. Most people think they have tentacles, but common octopuses do not. In fact, tentacles are merely flexible extentions. Squids and cuttlefish have such things as tentacles.
octopuses are widely considered to have 8 legs however they actually have 6 , the other 2 are arms
Not true.
An octopus has 8 tentacles. But marine scientists now believe that only 2 of those tentacles are actually used for walking and moving around. These are called as legs. The remaining 6 are used for feeding and other functions. Hence they are called as arms.
It used to be thought that an octopus had eight tentacles or "arms". Now, scientists are saying that two of those tentacles are legs, so an octopus has two legs. The rest are arms.

I'm tempted to say 8 legs on an octopus, except they're not legs; they're tentacles.

Octopus has 0 tentacles. A fully grown octopus has 8 Arms, or as scientists are now saying 6 arms and 2 legs. A common mistake calling the octopus arms tentacles. Tentacles are longer than arms and tentacles usually have suckers only at their tips.

No, octopus' do not have eight legs. They do however have eight limbs, in the form of tentacles ;)
they move there legs
The word "leg" in this question seems to be used very loosely as, in fact, an octopus has no legs, only tentacles. The latin word octo means eight and that is why it is named. Eight tentacles.

Animals with tentacles include squid, octopuses, and jellyfish. Cuttlefish and Portuguese Man of War also have tentacles. Many people think starfish have tentacles, but these are actually true arms and legs.
