Hi

I don't think there is an entry in the dictionary to describe it. The closest I've found is Octophobia, which is a fear of the number 8 (lol).

Here's a few you might find interesting which ties in with your question in some way:

Thalassophobia- Fear of the sea.
Ichthyophobia- Fear of fish.
Ostraconophobia- Fear of shellfish.

EDIT: haha found it - "Cephalophobia" - fear of squids!Health Question & Answer

I'm sorry, but there isn't. It's simply known as a phobia of octopuses. Simple eh.?
It's not very common, which is probably why it doesn't have a name - unlike fears of the dark, clowns, etc.
