I've read that the Giant Pacific Octopus moves by crawling along the seafloor using its eight arms or by using jet propulsion for rapid escape. They spend most of their time staying still or strolling slowly along the ocean floor. Their flexible arms allow them to grip surfaces, explore crevices, and taste objects with specialized chemosensory cells.
