Also the opposite thing can happen.Octopus eats cuttlefish.I have caught octopus many times during fishing and sometimes it had a cuttlefish bone between its tentacles.

I'm not disagreeing with you by saying this, but the cuttle bone was probably a part of the octopuses den it was holding on to when it was reeled out of the water. They like to horde objects.

The cuttlefish bone is what remains from a cuttlefish when being eaten by an octopus.I remember that in one instance the octopus had a half-eaten cuttlefish between its tentacles.Furthermore,people who catch many octopuses by snorkeling,say they find the octopuses den by the bones and remnants of fish and other sea creatures,which lie around it.
