Research has found that some octopuses interact with fish in a way that suggests a collaborative relationship, with the two species potentially working together to hunt for prey. This behavior is seen as a sign of intelligence in octopuses, highlighting their complex interactions with other marine animals. However, the nature of this interaction is not entirely clear, with some studies also observing aggressive behavior, such as octopuses punching fish.
