There is just so much more to learn about octopuses. They have adapted to conditions for egg nurturing that we would consider inhospitable.
They also gathered in a large number to nurture their eggs. Octopuses have been considered solitary up until now. We will need to rethink that position.
It will be interesting to find out what else they have learned about our 8 armed friends.
