It is octopodes. It’s Greek and it follows the Greek pluralisation convention.

Octopus, octopuses, and octopodes are correct. Octopi incorrect.
Octopi is also correct. If anything, more correct than octopodes by virtue of popularity. Mismatching the language to the suffix does not a fake word make!
The downvoters are silly prescriptivists ;)
As long as they’re penetrating a lady I don’t care what they are called.
Octos

When I document code I have this problem with indices vs indexes.
I mostly write ‘indexes’ these days when I’m not on autopilot, in part since not all of my coworkers have a high English proficiency and just following the normal +(e)s plural makes it easier. My brain really does not want me to write ‘matrixes’ however (and indeed, my dictionary in this browser is fine with ‘indexes’ but not ‘matrixes’). I also try not to be pedantic with verbs whose irregular forms have become less common than their “incorrect” (at least when I was taught) forms. “Shined” being one of these, but I am sure there are more.
