BTW, I was wrong about Caulerpa taxifolia - single multinucleate cells can have creeping stolons that extend for several meters. It isn't rare at all, this is the invasiver algae that's wiping out native life in the Mediterranean, as none of the local herbivores are adapted to its toxins.

Keffler also noted that, contrary to what you might think, the Giant Pacific octopus, despite being one of the world’s largest octopuses, isn’t actually terribly strong, certainly not enough to squeeze a person in any damaging way, nor are their beaks of any real concern.
