I found a toy on the beach. It was light so I tied a rock to it, along with an oyster. After eating the oyster, the octopus removed the rock from the cord and then held the toy down when it started to float upwards. I held on until the octopus gave up trying to drag the toy to its lair. Note the triplefin fishes on the rock - they were always on hand to gobble up any small food scraps left behind by the octopus.
