I don't think they would do much at first but listen, since it appears they have the ability. Mimic octupi can copy the attributes of many other animals, so it would only be a matter of time before they master our languages. They will have stumbling blocks, of course. They don't last long outside of water, but they have the ability to evolve. They can hide in water anywhere, so they can made due for now.
Oh, sure, they can look all cute and harmless in an aquarium, catching bits of dead fish and squeezing through tiny holes, but what if those holes were your vents and those bits of fish your eyeballs? They're crafty animals, I wouldn't put anything past them.
Next time you get on a city bus or go down to your local butcher and the driver or proprietor don't quite look the same, watch out, or you could get a face full of ink and the next thing you know you're hogtied at the bottom of an aquarium, an eight-limbed creature glaring at you from above. Don't say you haven't been warned.
