I know you were talking about another cephalopod; however, I was struck by the comment that the octopus has no social life. I observed small squid/cuttlefish swimming in groups off the coast of Bermuda. In fact, the fishermen there knew that if you could catch one of the group, you could catch them all. They would refuse to leave their companion. It surprised me that the octopus would be so different. Thanks for the story. Very interesting.
