Not necessarily. But if you do find out it's an octopus, seal the lid, maybe put some sponge material around the intakes with a rubber band. If the rock is from Florida then it's probably an O. Mercatoris (see avatar) and they aren't likely to climb out of a tank. Very shy and secretive.

Um, well, dwarf octopuses are not big. Mantle's about the size of a peanut. That fits into my definition of "small". Now if they said it was the size of a pin-head I couldn't imagine even noticing it, and even more so it just sitting still long enough to get poked at.
Might not be an octopus at all, but the person happens to think it looked like it might possibly be one.
