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.
