I was about to say a mantis shrimp, but I think it wouldn’t really matter if it was a seashell anyway.

I think it will work against anything without claws, and if he’s up against something with claws, I think they would easily pry the shells apart too. Even against something with claws he could maybe crawl to the other side of the cup- they likely wouldn’t open enough to crush the whole cup.

True, but would they? I would think most have learned not to eat plastic by now?

fish are pretty dumb.
a plastic translucent cup let’s predators see the octopus inside. The harder shell is opaque and just looks like every other shell.

Naaaaah, they’ll see the food and might not even recognise the plastic cup
