No such thing. They are best kept alone. They are likely to eat anything else. Except maybe starfish

Octopi follow a very simple rule; If it can be subdued, it's food. You'd need sharks to avoid an octopus eating your fish, and then the octopus would be food.
Also, they escape very easily... They aren't reef critters, they need their own tanks.
