How do octopus reproduce sexually?

Yes this is very true. Males live long enough to reproduce with more females, but die within two months at most.

What does an octupus eat?

The Japanese community is the largest octopi consumer. But not only humans, some other sea inhabitants eat them, too. The octopus's predators include moray and conger eels, dolphins and sharks. Whenever possible, the octopus will escape from its predators by shooting a jet of water through its body to create a burst of speed. Often, however, the octopus avoids detection completely. It can change its body color and texture so perfectly that it can virtually disappear. The colored pigment in its skin can be concentrated or diluted, forming stripes and patterns that blend into the environment. The octopus's ink sac also helps it avoid attack. It releases a disorienting black cloud that is accompanied by another secretion to dull the attacker's sense of smell.

This blood is transported around the body. Which keeps pumping all the way around the body to then reach the heart and pass through again. This is a never ending cycle.
