What plural form of octopus do you use?

What plural form do you use when referring to multiple octopus creatures? Does it vary if it’s in speech or written? If in formal writing like academic papers, is a particular form more popular/favoured?

Sorry if this has been asked before on this sub - I couldn’t find any posts
