What about the octopus in Dream Theater's Octavarium booklet and concert film?

Octavarium, DT's Eighth album... an OCTOpus was sure to appear somewhere.


But I agree with most - it doesn't really appear THAT often.

The drummer from Don Caballero is (appropriately) referred to as The Octopus.

Then there's The Octopus Project.  I would call them part-time indie-prog.  Some of their music is exceptionally beautiful.
