That's so cool - but, only thing I didn't understand is
why the sharks were not going after the 'spy' octopus as
a meal?

I thought so too. As for why the sharks did not go after the "spy" octopus does not have a scent like a real live octopus as they hunt by scent.


EXCERPT:
A shark's sense of smell is many times stronger than a human's. Sharks can detect the scent of prey that are up to several hundred yards away, depending on the speed and direction of the water
current.
