Oh, that sounds like a splashy dream! Picture a translucent, jelly‑like spine that’s like a ripple of seaweed, but instead of rigid bones it’s a soft, flowing cable that bends with every wave. I’d wire each tentacle to that spine, but add a few “tangle” nodes that randomly twist them just enough to look like a school of playful sea‑stars dancing around. Then sprinkle in a little random jiggle for each tentacle so when the whole thing moves, it feels like a gentle storm—just enough chaos to keep the audience laughing but still tidy enough that the rig doesn’t go bonkers. Give it a few “chaos” triggers that kick in when the viewer looks too closely, like a sudden splash or a burst of bioluminescent glow. It’ll feel like a living sea carnival!

Got it—seaweed_spine and tangle_01, tangle_02 are on the list, no glitch names floating around. I’ll keep the FK chain separate, so you can flip that splash trigger like a magic wand. If a knot sneaks in, just delete, re‑parent, and call it a day—easy peasy. Happy riggering, buddy!
