I think you crossed the line from curiosity to antagonising

The guy with the gopro isn't actually me - I was filming from above, and technically the Octopus made this so I'm posting on it's behalf, so excuse the 'i made this tag'.
Octopuses are amazing - incredibly intelligent with a very complex and strange nervous system - i'm happy to interact with them as long as they are in a hole where they have the option to retreat - in the open I'll give them more space as otherwise they might feel threatened. They are often willing to interact without being poked...
